Editor-in-Chief for Education Journal CBE—Life Sciences Education @ ASCB
The American Society for Cell Biology (ASCB) seeks applicants for the next Editor-in-Chief (EIC) of the CBE—Life Sciences Education (LSE) journal. LSE has become the pioneering and leading journal in life sciences education research since its launch 20 years ago. The LSE editorship is a highly influential position with a unique opportunity to shape a leading journal, facilitate communication of new research findings, and leverage an increasingly open science environment.
The new EIC will be a transformative leader responsible for guiding the journal into the future and continuing to develop LSE as a “go-to” resource for the education community at large. The EIC will ensure a diverse and engaged Editorial Board and maintain the integrity of the peer-review process. The EIC will advocate for LSE, and grow the journal in terms of quality and volume. The EiC will create editorial policies that support the ASCB community, and diverse members of biology education, and establish new initiatives to keep the journal at the leading edge of education research. They will work in partnership with the ASCB Director of Publications, who oversees all peer review management and publishing operations.
Term
The EIC will be a part-time independent contractor and is expected to serve for a three-year term, renewable for two years, beginning August 1, 2025.
