Associate or Senior Editor, Nature Reviews Clean Technology

Location(s): New York, Shanghai, Berlin (Hybrid Working)

Closing date: January 19, 2024

Springer Nature, the publisher of Nature, is looking to recruit two Associate or Senior Editors for a new Nature Reviews journal – Nature Reviews Clean Technology – that will launch in January 2025.

Complementing journals such as Nature Energy and Nature Sustainability, the Nature Reviews Clean Technology will publish Reviews, Perspectives, and Comments related to the energy transition, decarbonization, and other technologies and processes that minimize negative environmental impact and promote sustainable resource use. Core topics include renewable and low-carbon energy technologies and systems; industrial decarbonization; aspects of environmental, civil, industrial, and chemical engineering; sustainable transportation; green chemistry; industrial ecology; and circular economics. The journal will bring together work from researchers in the academic and private sectors, and will provide insight into interactions between technology, society, and policy.

As Nature Reviews Clean Technology is a newly launching journal, the editors have the exciting opportunity to work with the Chief Editor to define and build the journal. Core tasks of the senior/associate editor role include:

Commissioning reviews and opinion pieces Working closely with authors throughout the writing and revision process by providing feedback on synopses, developmentally editing first drafts, line-by-line editing the final manuscript pre-acceptance, and developing ideas for figures and other display items Organizing and managing peer-review Writing Research Highlights and other editorial content Liaising extensively with the scientific community through laboratory visits and international conferences

The ideal candidate will have:

A PhD in any topic relevant to the journal. We are particularly interested in applicants with experience in energy-related research (including but not limited to work on solar photovoltaics, batteries, fuel cells, electrocatalysis, or photocatalysis) or chemical engineering (including process engineering, sustainable feedstock and fuel production, or carbon capture, utilization and storage systems, and ideally with some experience in life cycle assessment and technoeconomic analysis). The ability to absorb new areas of research, and identify new developments and research trends in fields beyond their immediate specialty Willingness to travel to meet scientists and learn more about them and their work; and to tell them about the journal

Previous editorial experience is helpful but not essential and full training will be given. Springer Nature is committed to diversity, equity and inclusion, and we welcome applicants from diverse backgrounds.

To apply: Interested candidates should submit a recent CV and a cover letter explaining their interest in the position. The cover letter should also include 5 ideas for Review articles related to the journal, including a brief (2-3 sentences each) justification for the topic and a potential lead author. Applications will be assessed as they are submitted.

Closing date: January 19, 2024

Please note we will be reviewing candidate applications as they are submitted and so encourage you to apply as early as possible.
