We are Cambridge University Press & Assessment, a world-leading academic publisher and assessment organisation and a proud part of the University of Cambridge.


We are seeking an experienced and proactive Scientific Editor to drive the growth and development of a new series of open access STM journals.

This is an excellent opportunity to take full responsibility for exciting new journal titles and shape their success from day one

  • In collaboration with senior editorial boards, refine the topic map for each title and plan invited content for launch that fulfils the interdisciplinary nature of the Cambridge Prisms.
  • Lead the management and drive the acquisition of journal content, discussing individual manuscripts with editors and stepping in as handling editor where appropriate, identifying and managing delays on manuscripts, and enforcing procedures to resolve peer review issues if necessary.
  • Identify opportunities to promote the journals under your management and ensure received submissions and published papers appropriately map the full scope of each journal.
  • Create and implement journal development strategies in line with Cambridge Prisms philosophy, aims and targets.
  • Establish and build excellent lines of communication with authors and standards of author service.
  • Support, engage with and motivate editorial boards, leading quarterly meetings to discuss journal development strategies and maintaining regular contact with individual senior board members.
  • Represent your journals and the Cambridge Prisms series at conferences and other relevant events.

You will be proactive and confident in initiating and leading communications with senior editors, external editorial boards, as well as prospective authors.
