Journal of General Virology Editors and Board of Reviewers: call for expressions of interest

11 October 2023

The Journal of General Virology has been publishing peer-reviewed research for more than 50 years. We recognise the importance of virology as a unique discipline within microbiology, and actively collaborate with partners such as the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) to support the global virology community.

The Journal of General Virology is looking for virologists who work on aspects of animal, plant, insect, bacterial and fungal viruses, transmissible spongiform encephalopathies, molecular biology and immunology, virus–host interactions and antiviral compounds to join the Board of Reviewers. Peer reviewers play a critical role in ensuring that high-quality science is published, allowing us to further advance the understanding of microbiology. 

Editors of the Journal of General Virology play a key role in the journal, ensuring that we publish high-quality research and are engaged with the microbiological community. Your main task will be arranging peer review of manuscripts submitted to the journal. You will also have opportunities to contribute to the strategic direction of the journal.

If you are interested in joining the Journal of General Virology as an Editor or member of the Board of Reviewers, please find more information on our website.

To apply for either role, please send your expression of interest and CV to Tamanna Khanom, [email protected] by 18 November 2023. Applications will then be assessed by the senior JGV editorial team in line with the needs of the Board.

The Microbiology Society is an equal opportunities employer and welcomes applications from all suitably qualified persons regardless of their race, sex, disability, religion/belief, sexual orientation or age. We value, promote and seek diversity.
