This could include, but is not limited to environmental geochemistry, terrestrial biogeochemistry, geology, atmospheric chemistry. - Some postdoctoral research experience is preferred but not essential. A thorough understanding of the fundamentals of the subject is essential. - A passion for science and a thirst to learn more. You must be able to demonstrate the breadth of your interest in scientific research, both within and beyond your speciality and across the wider field of Earth Science. - Excellent communication and interpersonal skills and be fluent in English (written and spoken). - The ability to read and assess the novelty, context and implications of research submitted to the journal from different areas of this discipline. - Be eager to travel and meet scientists worldwide, learn more about them and their research, and help them learn more about us and what we are looking for in the papers we seek to publish. This role can be located in our London, Berlin or New York offices. The position is offered on a full-time, permanent basis. Editorial experience is not required, although applicants with significant editorial experience are encouraged to apply and will potentially be considered for Senior Editor positions. *Applicants should include a CV, a cover letter explaining their interest in the post and their preferred office of employment, and a separate concise (300-400 words) discussion of recent scientific developments in any area of geochemistry that you found particularly exciting, stating why.* Candidates will be considered as they apply. 4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4 ------------------------------
