Join the Editorial Board as an

EARLY CAREER ASSOCIATE EDITOR

The Editorial Board of Reproduction & Fertility (RAF) are looking for people to join the Board as Early Career Associate Editors (ECAE) for a year.  This position is suitable both for basic, non-clinical scientists and also for clinicians-in-training or embryologists working in the area of clinical reproduction and fertility.

EARLY CAREER ASSOCIATE EDITORS WILL:

• Participate whenever possible in monthly editor-in-chief meetings, allowing them to develop an understanding of how a journal is run. These are held remotely, most often on Wednesdays at 16.00 GMT; applicants should ensure that this is, in general, a feasible time for them to join meetings.
• Work with an Associate Editor, watching how they deal with the manuscript, and gaining expertise in the day-to-day Associate Editor work.
• Help RAF’s Journal Club Editor hold occasional journal clubs (run on Twitter, likely two-three across the year).
