The Role

We are looking for an Associate Editor to be based in our Auckland North Shore office on a full time, 40 hours per week, basis.

You will be expected to remain up to date with developments in these therapeutic areas, and attendance at international conferences may be part of this. You will also provide ad-hoc support for other editorial tasks as assigned across various therapeutic and specialist areas.

We offer a hybrid working environment, and provide company subsidised medical insurance and enhanced KiwiSaver contributions.

• Life/health science degree
