We are particularly interested in interdisciplinary studies. The journal provides a place where all researchers and policymakers interested in all water-related topics come together to learn about the most accomplished and significant advances in the field and to discuss topical issues. 

The team is seeking a full-time Associate or Senior Editor with a background in any water-related research field. Expertise in environmental microbiology, environmental bioengineering, aquatic ecology and/or social sciences applied to water is especially welcome. Candidates should have a broad understanding of the research challenges related to water.  This position would especially suit an early career researcher with a passion for science, but who is looking to move away from academia.

  • Representing the journal at scientific meetings and conferences
  • Working collaboratively with editors across other Nature Portfolio journals

  • A keen interest and enthusiasm for the practice and communication of science
  • Willingness to learn and appreciate new areas of research
  • Good literary skills
  • Excellent time management and work prioritization skills
  • Excellent interpersonal skills
  • Editorial experience would be beneficial, but not essential as full training will be given

To apply, please send:

  • A brief 1 page Cover Letter explaining your interest in the position and indicating salary expectations
  • A CV
  • A concise (no more than 500 words) discussion of a recent scientific study, issue, development, or debate in water-related research that you have found particularly interesting (stating why, and including no more than 5 relevant references).
