Do you enjoy using science to drive change in the world?

Are you passionate about improving health outcomes in Europe?

  • The Lancet Regional Health
  • Europe_ is a new OA journal, part of the
_Lancet_'s global initiative to advocate for health-care quality and access in all regions of the world.

We are a small and friendly team handling a high volume of submissions while priding ourselves on offering a personalised service to the researchers who publish with us.

The Senior Editor will work with fellow Senior Editors and the Editor-in-Chief in all aspects of the organisation and preparation of the journal.

You will encounter some of the best research in Europe, collaborate with a regional and global authorship base, and get to work closely with other journal editors as well as our production, marketing, communications, and administration.

  • Suggesting and helping to develop new initiatives for future development and enhancement of the journal
