  • Contributing to and implementing a journal strategy that ensures Joule remains topical, distinctive, impactful and agenda-setting
  • Collaborating with Cell Press colleagues to broaden our footprint and ensure we continue to meet the needs of the research communities we serve

Requirements

  • Have a degree and research experience in Chemistry, Materials, Physics, Engineering, Energy Analysis or any subject relevant to the journal
  • Have a passion for sustainable energy research, and research background within the scope of the journal
  • Experience in one or more of catalysis for energy, energy policy, techno-economic analysis, or heating & cooling research
