The ideal candidate will have a PhD in a field of biological, biochemical or biomedical research, and preferably postdoctoral experience, along with excellent scientific judgement and a broad knowledge and understanding of the challenges faced by researchers at the bench. Candidates with expertise in biomaterials, biophysics, biotechnology, chemical biology, computational biology, imaging, proteomics, and/or structural biology are particularly encouraged to apply. However, highly qualified candidates from other biological, biochemical or biomedical science disciplines will also be considered. Previous editorial experience is not required, although applicants with significant editorial experience are encouraged to apply and will potentially be considered for a Senior Editor position. We welcome candidates from diverse backgrounds. 

• A PhD in a relevant field to our journal (postdoctoral research experience is preferred but not essential)
• A passion for science and a thirst for knowledge
• A broad interest in scientific research, both within and beyond your speciality
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills and fluency in English (written and spoken)
• The ability to read and assess the context and implications of Protocols from different research areas and the ability to commission important Protocols within your subject area and beyond
• An understanding of what makes a well-written and accessible Protocol or Review paper, and the ability to work collaboratively with authors towards achieving this goal
• A desire to travel and meet scientists worldwide by attending conferences and organising lab visits (although outreach is expected to be largely desk-based (e.g. virtual conferences, phone and video calls) while Covid-related travel restrictions are in place)
