Publishing roles

We have numerous publishing related roles within IOP Publishing, so whether you're a recent graduate or have several years experience of STM publishing a career in a publishing related role could be for you. What follows are examples of some of the publishing roles available here at IOP Publishing.

Publisher

As a Publisher you'll have responsibility for the science strategy of the products and services within your portfolio - including journals, magazines and websites. You'll also contribute to the development of business strategies and tactics for your products and services. You'll act as an advocate for your portfolio generating material and support from key organizations and institutions. You'll be charged with achieving a high profile at conferences and University visits to authors, referees and partners, becoming the face of your products.

Publishing Editor

As a Publishing Editor, you'll be crucial to the maintenance and development of our journals. Working in a close-knit team, you'll focus on the peer review system - the process which ensures quality and validity of research papers submitted to the IOP for publication. Academics electronically submit research papers to us for consideration, which are then forwarded to leading academics in the particular field for assessment in terms of quality and significance. You'll interpret the comments of these referees, making editorial decisions whether or not articles are suitable for publication.

Production Editor

The Journals Production Department is responsible for the efficient editing, typesetting and printing of a range of journals, as well as the preparation of material for publication via the Internet. As a Production Editor, you are at the forefront of this effort. As part of the journal publication team, liaising with the Publisher and Publishing Administrator, the Production Editor is responsible for the production (print + electronic) of one or more journal titles and is expected to contribute to the production of other titles within the department as required. This involves managing accepted articles through the processes of editing, typesetting, proofing, correction and final publication.
