Managing Editor at Quintessence Publishing

Wednesday, April 3, 2024
Employer: Quintessence Publishing Expires: 04/30/2024 MANAGING EDITOR Quintessence Publishing USA is looking for a sharp editorial mind to manage the International Journal of Oral & Maxillofacial Implants (JOMI). Internationally recognized for its high editorial and scientific standards, JOMI publishes original articles on implant-related research and patient care, and we need a strong editor with great organizational skills to run the editorial office for the journal. We are looking for someone who is good at deciphering language, thinking critically, and solving problems. And you have to like reading scientific writing, because that is 100% of this job. 😁 This is not a job where you’ll find typos and correct them. As editors, our most important role is partnering with our authors to make their vision come to life in a way readers can understand. That means taking their manuscript and images and translating them into a clear narrative thread for the reader. This is an opportunity to flex your brain, critically evaluate written material and make it better, and use visuals to tell a story. Are you up for the challenge? As an editorial team, we value collaboration but secretly prefer doing our work quietly in our office, free of interruption, so be prepared to spend most of your time alone reading. While experience in technical editing is not required, it will be a big advantage because JOMI is a very technical journal with more tables than you’ve ever seen. If you don’t love tables, you soon will.  Primary responsibilities for this position include managing the submission and peer review process; forging and maintaining relationships with authors, reviewers, and the editor-in-chief to keep everything running smoothly; editing articles and facilitating the production process; and putting out any fires along the way.  This position is full-time with a benefits package including health care and dental insurance, life insurance, 401k plan with company matching, generous vacation time (including nearly 2 weeks off at Christmas) and personal days, and flexible work hours. We have a hybrid work week, with 3 days in the Batavia (Illinois) office and 2 days at home. Plus, because our headquarters are in Berlin, our work week is only 35 hours. The salary range is $38,000 to $45,000 based on experience. Our office environment is casual, and our small staff is close-knit and friendly. We believe in mentorship and working together, so we are looking for a team player who likes the freedom of independent work. If this sounds like you, please apply to hiring@quintbook.com with your resume and pitch for why you think you’d be a good fit. We want our new hires to be excited about this opportunity, so if you’re not, please don’t apply.
