International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology Editor Job Description

Journal of Medical Microbiology (JMM) is the go-to interdisciplinary journal for medical, dental and veterinary microbiology, at the bench and in the clinic. We are currently looking for a JMM Profiles Editor to work with the Editor-in-Chief, Dr Tim Inglis and the Deputy Editor-in-Chief, Dr Tina Joshi to lead development and handling of JMM Profile submissions.

Profiles provide a concise summary describing key features and finishing with open questions pertinent to the subject matter. The Profiles are commissioned articles written by microbiologists with expertise in the area, and are intended to be a useful resource for education and reference.

For more details about JMM Profiles, please take a look at the following editorial from Dr Norman Fry. All of our published JMM Profiles can be found here.

Editor Benefits include two nights of accommodation and two days of registration at the Annual Conference, with an allowance for travel and meal expenses.
