Assistant Editor, Physical Review Letters
The editors of Physical Review Letters seek a dynamic and personable colleague to join our group at the editorial offices in Ridge, New York, on Long Island near Brookhaven Lab and Stony Brook University. Our core responsibility is selection of manuscripts for publication, in the context of the peer review process. For this purpose, we aim to hire an Assistant Editor who has a Ph.D. and some postdoctoral experience, and is familiar with research publication. An excellent command of written and spoken English is essential, and an ability to address a broad range of topics in physics is highly desirable.. We are interested in candidates with an ability to address a broad range of topics in physics, but are specifically looking for those with a background in particle, nuclear, astrophysics, or quantum information. In addition, we would welcome an interest in contributing to ongoing efforts by the APS journals to reach out to non-specialist and general readers. No prior editorial experience is needed--we train all new editors to develop the necessary skills. With experience, an Assistant Editor assumes independent responsibility for a subset of submitted manuscripts. We offer career stability, a competitive salary, and an outstanding benefits package to a qualified individual ready to start a nontraditional career in physics.
