The CHIMIA Editorial Board is looking for an Editor-in-Chief to replace Prof. Catherine Housecroft from 2027.
The Editor-in-Chief is responsible for planning the special topic issues on an annual basis, inviting and supporting Guest Editors and ensuring the scientific quality of the articles. He/she has the final say in whether to accept a submission. The Editor-in-Chief is also directly responsible for one issue a year that presents the work of the SCS major prizewinners, and for one issue every other year introducing young faculty in chemistry in Switzerland. The Editor-in-Chief is also responsible for handling the small number of spontaneous submissions of manuscripts to CHIMIA which may be considered for the ‘Notes’ section.
This role would suit someone who is well embedded in the Swiss chemistry community and is interested in scientific publishing and supporting the activities of the Swiss Chemical Society. The role takes an estimated 1-2 hour per week.
