Editorial experience is not required, although applicants with significant editorial experience are encouraged to apply and will potentially be considered for Senior Editor positions.

To apply, you should include:

  • a CV a cover letter explaining your interest in the post and your preferred office of employment a separate concise words) discussion of recent scientific developments in any area related to quantum physics that you found particularly exciting, stating why (to be included at the end of your cover letter)
