The CHIMIA Editorial Board is looking for a new Chairperson of the Editorial Board to replace Dr. Gillian Harvey from the beginning of 2026.
The Chairperson of the CHIMIA Editorial Board has a range of administrative duties and is involved in the strategic development of the journal. The administrative duties include running the Editorial Board meetings (3 p.a.), preparing the editorial programme for each issue, checking invoices from external service providers and supporting the technical editor.
The Chairperson is an ex officio member of the SCS Board of Directors and Executive Board where he/she represents the interests of CHIMIA and is also involved in all other Board business.
In addition, the Chairperson is involved in the strategic development of CHIMIA, most importantly collaboration with other diamond open access journals in Switzerland to ensure recognition of this publishing format and to secure sustainability and funding. This includes active participation in the newly formed association Diamond+ that was formed to fulfil these aims.
This role would suit someone from the Swiss chemistry community who is interested in open access publishing and supporting the activities of the Swiss Chemical Society. The role takes an estimated 1 day per month.
