Nature Communications is the leading multidisciplinary Open Access journal, publishing high-quality scientific research. To help us to build on the success of this journal, we’re seeking a chemist with a strong background in Organic Chemistry who has a critical eye, a deep understanding of their subject and interests beyond, and who can think on their feet.
