    <![CDATA[*Reviews Editor _Disease Models & Mechanisms_*
Based in Cambridge, UK or Nashville, TN, USA

Applications are sought for the role of Reviews Editor on _Disease Models & Mechanisms_.

Joining a young journal in an expanding and important area of research, this is an exciting opportunity for a promising scientific editor to make a significant contribution to a growing journal serving a major new biomedical community. _Disease Models & Mechanisms_ publishes both primary research articles and a variety of invited and staff-written material, and is expanding its services to authors and readers, both in print and online.

Since the journal serves both basic biomedical researchers and clinicians, applicants will have a PhD or MD with some relevant research experience, and a broad knowledge of model organisms and disease issues, and will ideally already hold an editorial role (we also provide on-the-job training).

Core responsibilities:
• Commissioning, handling peer review and developmental editing of material for the front section of the journal
• Writing short and long pieces for the journal
• Conducting interviews and creating podcasts
• Representing the journal at international conferences and within the wider scientific community
• Creative involvement in the journal's development

The Reviews Editor will work alongside an experienced Editor-in-Chief, and additional responsibilities may be provided for the right candidate.

Essential requirements for the job are enthusiasm, commitment and excellent oral and written communication skills. Candidates should have excellent interpersonal skills and a broad interest in research and the research community.

The position represents a unique opportunity to gain experience on an exciting new biomedical research journal and offers an attractive salary and benefits.

The Company of Biologists (http://www.biologists.com) is a not-for-profit organisation, publishing four distinguished journals in the biological sciences: _Disease Models & Mechanisms, Development, Journal of Cell Science_ and _The Journal of Experimental Biology_. The organisation has an active programme of charitable giving for the further advancement of biological research, including travelling fellowships for junior scientists and contributions to academic societies and conferences.

Applicants should send a CV along with a covering letter that states their salary expectations and summarises their relevant experience and why they are enthusiastic about this opportunity.
Applications should be sent by email no later than *27th November* to miriam@thecob.demon.co.uk
