Position: Chief Editor,
Nature Health
The full job description covers all associated skills, previous experience, and any qualifications that applicants are expected to have.Locations: New York, London
Closing date: 25th August, 2024
Springer Nature, the publisher of
Nature , is looking to recruit a Chief Editor for
Nature Health , a new journal that will launch in January 2026.
Nature Health
will be an interdisciplinary journal championing health and wellbeing research at a population level, focused on protection and promotion of health, and disease prevention. The journal will have a strong focus on strengthening Springer Nature’s commitment to the UN Sustainable Development Goals aimed at improving global and public health, and towards addressing health inequities.
Nature Health ’s mission is to connect researchers, healthcare professionals, innovators, policy makers, and the public, by identifying and publishing the best evidence to promote better health.
The range of topics and disciplines to be covered includes (but is not limited to): public health, global health, health systems, health disparities, health environments, health delivery, health innovations, health economics, nutritional health, social determinants of health, epidemiology and population-level interventions.
To help realize this vision, we require an ambitious and dynamic Chief Editor, who will develop, launch and establish
Nature Health
as the leading publication covering all of these aspects of health research.
The successful applicant will lead an editorial team, and work closely with them on all aspects of the editorial process, including manuscript selection, commissioning and editing of Reviews and News & Views, and writing for the journal. A key aspect of the job will involve liaising with the scientific community through laboratory visits and international conferences — willingness to travel is essential.
Working within a dynamic editorial and publishing environment that also includes
Nature ,
Nature Medicine
and
Nature Mental Health , among others, this demanding and stimulating role calls for a keen interest in the practice and communication of science. The successful candidate will be inventive and outgoing, and have excellent interpersonal skills. Broad scientific knowledge and training, excellent literary skills and the ability to absorb new areas of research are prerequisites.
Applicants must have: a PhD, MD or similar degree with substantial research experience, preferable working in a variety of health settings. Previous editorial and/or managerial experience is an advantage but not required. Experience working in non-governmental organizations or other health policy settings is a plus.
The position will be preferably based in our offices in New York but other locations where SN has an office may also be considered on a case-by-case basis. All our employees work under a hybrid work pattern, with a requirement to attend the office two days a week.
To apply:
Applicants should send a CV; a statement (1,500 words maximum) that encapsulates their vision for the journal’s content, competitive position and longer-term development; and a brief cover letter explaining their interest in the post and their salary expectations.
