Hi Chris and Andrej,
I hope you are doing well.
I’d like to seek your help in passing around the word about a new opportunity at Cell Press, working as an editor for Cell Chemical Biology and Structure. Any life sciences PhD interested in being a scientific editor can apply. No previous editorial work is required with a preference for someone with chemical biology or structural biology background.
We have a job posting <https://relx.wd3.myworkdayjobs.com/ElsevierJobs/job/London/Associate-Scienti...> (also appended below), and it would be great if you could circulate it to various labs at UCSF/Sloan. If there is a trainee in your labs who might be interested, encourage them to apply. Please feel free to let me know if you need any specific information or, have any questions/concerns.
Many thanks, Mishtu
