About the Role

As a Senior Editor for The Lancet Regional Health – Europe, you will play a key role in shaping and developing a leading Open Access journal focused on improving health outcomes across Europe. Working closely with fellow Senior Editors and the Editor-in-Chief, you will contribute to editorial strategy, build relationships across the regional health community, and help bring high-quality research and thought leadership to a global audience.

Responsibilities

• Suggest and help develop new initiatives for future growth and enhancement of the journal.

Requirements

• Research experience in a relevant field or experience in the wider development community.
• Editorial experience, with a good understanding of all aspects of the journal publishing process would be an added advantage but not an absolute requirement.
