Assistant Editors are research subject matter experts individuals with research experience in a particular field of study - who are responsible for managing tasks associated with services provided by the Wiley Peer Review Desk where subject expertise is required or highly advantageous (including but not limited to manuscript triage, reviewer selection, evaluation of reviewer reports, integrity screening, scope assessment, referral and transfer handling etc.) ahead of export to production.

Assistant Editors are entry-level with experience as an Editorial Associate or limited prior experience as a handling editor; they almost certainly have experience as an author, reviewer, and potential as a guest editor or junior member of an editorial board, but are unlikely to have experience handling manuscripts through peer review.

How will you make an impact

Undertake screening and peer review activities for manuscripts in their relevant/broad subject area:

Undertake subject-matter-expert (SME)- driven screening for manuscripts at the appropriate point in the workflow, either during holistic manuscript handling or as a point of escalation for a peer review service.
Raise integrity concerns because of the SME screen/check via appropriate channels.
Evaluate new submissions for their suitability for the journal, taking an immediate decision with the appropriate decision rationale, in line with the journal s policy/scope.
For suitable manuscripts, select and invite reviewers.
Assess reviewer report(s) and decide to Accept/Reject/Revise/Refer manuscript (new/transferred/revised submission);
Assess revised manuscripts for the extent and quality of the changes made, and determine whether a final decision can be taken or whether further external review is needed; In the course of manuscript assessment (before or after external review), when a rejection is being rendered, identify appropriate journal(s) from within the portfolio as target titles for transfer.
When a rebuttal is submitted, review the arguments and take appropriate action promptly: Pilot Projects/Special Projects Participate in proof-of-concept projects
Report findings promptly within the stipulated timelines and framework
Performance Improvement
Review performance reporting to identify trends or opportunities for improvement of the peer review services offered.
Engage with senior colleagues and line managers to understand areas of personal performance improvement opportunities.
Participate in subject area clusters comprised of handling editors in the field from both Publishing Development, The Wiley Peer Review Desk, and the Comprehensive Editorial Evaluation Team.

Training & Development

Stay abreast of the subject area and maintain community connections through attendance at both virtual and local seminars/webinars/conferences.
Provide peer-to-peer training and assist in the preparation of vendor accreditation programs and training documents
Act as an escalation point for vendors performing tasks associated with services provided by the PRD

What we are looking for:

PhD or equivalent advanced degree in relevant research field (note, highly preferred candidate must have exceptional research experience if no PhD)
We are seeking candidates with expertise in one of the following subject areas: Material Science
Candidate 3-5 years experience as a primary researcher in the relevant field (note, time spent doing a PhD counts as research experience)
Candidate 1-2 years experience in scholarly publishing, with at least 1 of those years as a professional editor/Editorial Associate handling peer review, etc.
Basic knowledge of the publishing process
High-level knowledge of the peer review process
Attention to detail
Good communication skills and the ability to collaborate
Head down plough on approach to workload / Ability to stay focused
Fluent in English (though not necessarily a native speaker), with excellent writing and oral skills

Desirable

Proven interest in scholarly publishing
Experience as a reviewer/editor, Knowledge of common editorial policies and practices, at least specific to their field of expertise
Experience using a supported EEO (e.g., Editorial Manager, ScholarOne, Phenom)
Broad understanding of the scholarly publishing business, including the transition to Open Access
