Chief Editor ? Nature Climate Change
Nature Publishing Group, the publisher of Nature, is pleased to announce the launch of Nature Climate Change. This international monthly journal will launch in 2009 providing in-depth coverage on news and scientific- and impacts-based research relating to the Earth?s changing climate.
Nature Climate Change will publish research crossing both natural and social sciences and will strive to forge and synthesize interdisciplinary research. The journal?s mission will be to unify the body of research related to the understanding, and impacts, of Climate Change as well as putting the latest research into a wider social and political context.
We require a dynamic Chief Editor, based in our London offices, who is able to develop, launch and establish Nature Climate Change as the essential publication covering research into the Earth?s changing climate. The ideal candidate is expected to play a leading role in the accessibility of research, published in the journal, and its visibility in related research communities as well as the mainstream media and public.
Chief Editor ? Nature Climate Change (Ref: NPG/LON/958) Applicants must have a significant track record in climate-related research and, ideally, experience working in both the natural and social sciences. Candidates must be able to demonstrate a good understanding of the challenges faced by researchers, policy makers and other interested parties in understanding the complex mechanisms and impacts associated with our changing climate.
This is a demanding and extremely stimulating role, which calls for a keen interest in the practice and communication of science. The successful candidate will therefore be dynamic, motivated and outgoing, and must possess excellent managerial, presentation and interpersonal skills.
Applicants should include a covering letter stating their suitability for this post as well as their salary expectations, a current CV and a statement (1500 word maximum) that encapsulates their vision for content, competitive position and longer term development for Nature Climate Change.
