SalaryAbout our Team
The Lancet Regional Health – Western Pacific is a gold 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.
About the Role
The Deputy 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 Western Pacific region, 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.
The role is based in a location in Australia or China where Elsevier has an office. For this particular role, we do not expect daily attendance in the office but believe that regular in-person team meetings can be beneficial for us all. You will have a clearly defined schedule of work, and the way you use your weekly hours to complete it will be up to you.
