Managing Editor, Molecular Oncology
The not-for-profit Federation of European Biochemical Societies (FEBS) seeks a Managing Editor for the journal Molecular Oncology, one of the four journals it owns.
Molecular Oncology publishes high-quality manuscripts from the full continuum of cancer research – including basic cancer research, clinical studies and cancer policy – and is ranked in the 1st quartile of oncology journals. This open access journal is led by academic Editor-in-Chief Kevin Ryan.
The Managing Editor will lead the editorial team (currently 4 members) in all aspects of the editorial process, including screening of submitted manuscripts, management of the peer review process, quality control of accepted manuscripts, and commissioning and editing reviews. Editorial staff also represent and promote the journals through laboratory visits, attending conferences and on social media.
We seek a candidate with good written and verbal communication skills and the enthusiasm and drive to further enhance the journal’s reputation. A PhD in cancer biology or a related life sciences discipline and a minimum of two years editorial experience are essential. Postdoctoral experience is advantageous.
This is a full-time, permanent position. The majority of FEBS staff now work remotely and the candidate can be based in either the UK, Germany or Spain. FEBS has its headquarters in Cambridge, UK.
