Full-time editorial positions – Physical Review journals

The Physical Review journals currently have two full-time editorial openings. Both positions are "remote-first," meaning that the successful applicant may hold the position while residing anywhere in the USA.

Associate or Senior Associate Editor, Quantum Information

The editorial teams of PRX Quantum and Physical Review Applied are looking for someone with a deep understanding of the research and academic publishing landscape in quantum, a keen eye for detail, and excellent communication skills. A full job description can be found here. APS follows a remote-first environment within the USA and sponsors visa applications.

This full-time position is an excellent opportunity for someone with a strong publication record and referee experience, who has decided to shift gears and pursue a different path outside of academia. Postdoctoral experience in the broad field of quantum information is required. Individuals with editorial experience can apply for a senior position.

Associate Editor or Senior Associate Editor, Physical Review Letters

Would you like to join our close-knit team of editors running the world’s leading physics journal? As an Associate Editor of Physical Review Letters, you would handle all phases of the peer review process and ultimately decide which papers we publish. For this important work, we seek, for two open positions, dynamic and personable individuals with a strong scientific background in either condensed matter and materials science, or physics of fluids, polymer physics, chemical physics, geophysics, or complex systems.

Our editors stay engaged with the physics community and abreast of the latest research by attending meetings and visiting research institutions around the world. In addition, editors participate in various editorial initiatives and cross-departmental APS projects.

No editorial experience is required, though we do expect familiarity with the review process as an author and referee. We will train you to develop the editorial skills needed to be part of our team. Candidates with considerable editorial experience in handling manuscripts for peer-reviewed journals, and demonstrated impact in that role, may qualify for the senior position. 

The application deadline is April 30th, 2023.
