• Eagerness to travel and meet scientists worldwide, learn more about them and their research, and help them learn more about us and what we are looking for in the papers we seek to publish.
• Editorial experience is not required, although applicants with significant editorial experience are encouraged to apply and will potentially be considered for Senior Editor positions.

To apply, you should include:
• a CV
• a cover letter explaining your interest in the post and your preferred office of employment
• a separate concise (300-400 words) discussion of recent scientific developments in any area related to quantum physics that you found particularly exciting, stating why (to be included at the end of your cover letter)
