AAPS and Springer Nature Seek New Editor-in-Chief for The AAPS Journal

We seek an exceptional candidate to serve as the Editor-in-Chief of The AAPS Journal. This is a freelance role (stipend paid), and one best suited to someone who is currently doing research themselves; motivated to collaborate with the editorial teams of AAPS Open, AAPS PharmSciTech, and Pharmaceutical Research.

While we anticipate general interest in this position, given that it is the latest role available and part of AAPS’ eminent journal portfolio, we particularly welcome those with previous senior editor or editorial board experience.

Interested candidates should submit their curriculum vitae, three references, and publication/editorial records to AAPS’ Publication Manager, Matt Baughman at [email protected].
