About the Role

Springer Nature is seeking an Associate or Senior Editor to join the Research Cross‑Journal Editorial Team. This exciting position involves being part of a team of editors that will work closely — and flexibly — with the existing Nature Research Journals. The ideal candidate will be a critical thinker with a deep understanding of their subject, curiosity and a desire to learn about areas beyond it, and who can think on their feet.

Role Responsibilities

• Supporting editorial processes relating to manuscript assessment and the peer‑review process.
• Commissioning, editing and writing content for journals.
• Working closely with Chief Editors and journal teams, while reporting to the Head of the Research Cross‑Journal Team, on other aspects of journal content and strategy, as appropriate.

Experience, Skills & Qualifications

• Research experience to PhD level (or equivalent) in device engineering, materials engineering for devices, applied physics, electronics or closely related areas.
• A keen interest in research both within and beyond your specialty.
• The ability to absorb and understand new areas of research.
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills.
• Time management and work prioritization skills.
• Postdoctoral experience is not required but would be a plus.
• Previous editorial experience is desirable but not essential.
• Additional expertise in related disciplines would be advantageous.

Applicants Must Include

• A brief cover letter explaining your interest in the role, relevant experience, preferred office location, salary expectations and current notice period.
• A CV detailing your education, employment history, list of published scientific papers, and any achievements demonstrating your suitability for the position.
• A concise discussion of a recent scientific development that you have found particularly exciting, and why (should not exceed 1 page). This should not be solely focused on only one article published in a Nature research journal.
