Excellent literary, communication and interpersonal skills and fluency in English (written and spoken).

The ability to assess and discuss the novelty, context and implications of research submitted to Nature Cancer and covering different areas of the journal's scope, and to recommend well-reasoned editorial decisions in light of expert advice.

Eagerness to represent Nature Cancer to the worldwide community of cancer researchers; to meet scientists and learn more about them and their work; and to tell them about the journal and what we are looking for in the papers we seek to publish.

Ability to work in a fast-paced collaborative environment – diligence, self-motivation, flexibility and team spirit are essential.
