Eligibility, licensing, and location restrictions can change. Always confirm details on the source posting before applying.
Why this is worth applying to
Only worth applying if you have a PhD and strong research background in medicinal chemistry, chemical biology, or biocatalysis and want editorial experience in scientific publishing. Most clinicians without that chemistry research profile should skip it.
Who should apply
Chemistry PhD holders with medicinal chemistry, chemical biology, or biocatalysis expertise; pharmacists or healthcare graduates with a closely related research PhD and publication record; candidates interested in peer review, journal strategy, and scientific publishing.
CV angle
Frame real research outputs, publication record, peer-review experience, manuscript handling, scientific writing, conference presentations, and any guest-editor or editorial-board work. Emphasize chemistry-specific expertise and Open Access/Open Research familiarity; do not reframe clinical duties as editorial experience.
Skills to highlight
- Medicinal chemistry research
- Chemical biology research
- Biocatalysis expertise
- Peer review and manuscript evaluation
- Scientific writing and editing
- Open Access and Open Research workflows
- Author and reviewer communication
- Conference presentation and research community engagement
Role summary
Deputy Editor for two chemistry journals, managing peer review, making editorial decisions, commissioning content, and helping shape journal strategy in medicinal chemistry, chemical biology, and biocatalysis.
