APS seeks new PRA Assistant Editor The editors of Physical Review A seek a dynamic and personable colleague to join our team at the American Physical Society Editorial Office in Ridge, New York, on Long Island near Brookhaven National Laboratory and Stony Brook University. Our core responsibility is the selection of manuscripts for publication, in the context of the peer-review process. For this purpose, we aim to hire an Assistant Editor who has at least some postdoctoral experience in an area relevant to the journal (in particular, atomic and molecular structure, interactions with strong laser fields, quantum information and/or quantum computation) and is familiar with research publication. In addition, we would welcome an interest in contributing to ongoing efforts by the APS journals to reach out to non-specialist and general readers. An excellent command of English is essential.
