  • In collaboration with the Publisher and colleagues, work on initiatives to improve the author, reviewer, and editor experience and workflows.
  • Facilitate and support miscellaneous and journal-specific projects within the Interdisciplinary Brands team.
  • Networking: represent the portfolio within the researcher community, including travel to scientific conferences and editorial board meetings.

We are looking for people who:
  • Have a Ph.D. or equivalent experience in the fields mentioned above and an affinity for laboratory protocols
