Position Summary:
The Physical Review journals seek a talented and ambitious Associate Editor with expertise and experience working with the multidisciplinary energy research community spanning pure and applied physics, chemistry, materials science, biology, and technology. The editor would be responsible for building connections with researchers and developing content from a wide range of topics, including (but not limited to) energy conversion and storage, batteries, hydroelectricity, geothermal energy, photovoltaics, light harvesting, fuel-cell technology, grid efficiency, and sustainable energy sources.
A Typical Week May Look Like This:
- Design and execute editorial plans that attract high-quality manuscript submissions from relevant research areas to the Physical Review journals
- Handle original manuscripts on areas related to energy research and technology, overseeing all aspects of the peer review process in support of relevant journals
- Contribute to plans to develop the Physical Review journals and services in line with the needs of applied sciences researchers
