How would you like to work at PLoS Medicine?

By clock on January 6, 2008.

If you are a doctor, or a post doctoral researcher in a relevant area, and you want to spend 6 months to a year working at a medical journal, this is a great opportunity for you - PLoS Medicine is looking for an intern:

PLoS Medicine, the flagship medical journal of the Public Library of Science, is pleased to announce that it is accepting applications for its first editorial intern.

We are looking for someone with a keen interest in medical publishing and open access who wants to join the PLoS Medicine editorial team.

You'll need to be a medical graduate with a minimum of 3-4 years post residency/house officer experience or a science graduate with a PhD or equivalent in an appropriate biomedical discipline. You'll need to be able to live and work in the UK or the US at either our Cambridge, UK or San Francisco offices.

In return, you'll work as an integral part of the PLoS Medicine editorial team. You'll get a thorough insight into the workings of a cutting edge international general medical journal and will be trained to handle peer review, commission magazine articles, and write editorials, blogs, editors' summaries and press releases.

The position is for 6 months in the first instance from early 2008, renewable for a further 6 months.
