Associate Editor, Scientific Reports

Location: Beijing

Scientific Reports is a primary research journal from the publishers of Nature, covering all areas of the natural and clinical sciences. Online and open access, Scientific Reports publishes a high volume of scientifically valid, original research papers, without barriers to access. With the support of external Editorial Board Members, papers are rapidly peer-reviewed to ensure they are technically sound.

As an Associate Editor, you will support the Chief Editor and Deputy Editors of Scientific Reports in managing the Editorial Board and editorial decision-making processes across the journal, making editorial decisions for specific cases and manuscripts where required, and supporting the editorial workflow and peer-review process. Key performance indicators include rapid publication, sound peer-review practices, and high levels of service to staff, authors, reviewers and Editorial Board Members (EBMs).
