Required
- PhD in materials science, materials engineering, electronic engineering, or a related field, with a strong research background and up-to-date knowledge of recent developments in electronics, sensors, and digital hardware.
- 2+ years of post-PhD experience — in postdoctoral research, industry, academia, publishing, or an international setting.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English, with strong organisational and time management abilities.
- Proven ability to collaborate across teams and achieve results through personal initiative and professional influence.
- Confidence to represent a journal portfolio at conferences and in outreach settings.
Preferred
