🎯 Requirements

• - A Bachelor’s degree in the life sciences or a related field (advanced degree a plus). • - 5+ years in scholarly publishing with hands-on peer review experience. • - Working knowledge of peer review models (single-blind, double-blind, open), open access workflows, and emerging trends in scholarly communication. • - Proficiency with manuscript systems and workflow tools (Editorial Manager strongly preferred; comfort with automation/AI-assisted tools for efficiency). • - Exceptional written communication and editorial judgment; able to synthesize complex feedback into clear, actionable decisions. • - Strong organization and project management skills; thrives in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment.
