About the Role
Do you love science but feel that a career at the bench isn't enough to sate your desire to learn more about scientific research? Do you enjoy reading papers outside your chosen area of research? If the answer is 'yes' to any or all these questions, you could be the person we're looking for to join the Nature Portfolio editorial team. To help us build on the success of the portfolio, we're seeking an editor with experience in geophysics who has a critical eye, a deep understanding of their subject and interests beyond, and who can think on their feet. Knowledge of seismology, tectonics, geodynamics, and natural hazards would be desirable as would interests in glaciology and geomorphology.
