ACS Publications in India is hiring Development Editors with broad subject area expertise in environmental sciences and allied fields. This position will be based in the Delhi office of ACSI, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the American Chemical Society.


ACS Publications is rapidly expanding its global editorial presence in key markets and the Development Editor will have the opportunity to be part of this exciting growth phase. The Development Editor will work with Editors and ACS staff to support the implementation of ACS journals’ publishing strategies and editorial initiatives to sustain and enhance ACS journals’ standing within the global chemistry community. The Development Editor will also be responsible for supporting and driving the editorial peer review process and coordinating the communication of editorial decisions for journals. The incumbent will be required to effectively communicate with editors on a routine basis to build a strong rapport, and to ensure consistency across editorial decision making.


The Development Editor reports to the Senior Editorial Staff based in the ACSI Delhi office. The incumbent will assist the Managing Editor, Executive Editors, and Editor-in-Chief in streamlining the journal’s peer review processes, with a focus on maintaining a positive author experience.


Specific Position Accountabilities are focused on assisting Editors-in-Chief, Executive Editors, Associate Editors, and Managing Editor with:

  • Screening and scientific evaluation of submitted manuscripts for suitability for a journal;
  • Communication of editorial decisions;
  • Development, organization, and dissemination of internal documents to facilitate the peer-review process (criteria for decisions, decision messages, communication/collaboration with editorial offices);
  • Refinement of the editorial peer review processes for a journal, in collaboration with the editorial team and journal staff; and
  • Facilitating the workflow for transfer of declined manuscripts to other ACS journals (requires understanding journal scopes across a subset of the ACS Publications portfolio as well as establishing relationships with the editorial teams of sister ACS journals).



Required Skills:

  • Ph.D. in Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Biotechnology/Bioengineering, Environmental Sciences, Materials Science and Engineering, and other branches of Physical or Engineering Sciences [Candidates who have submitted their Ph.D. thesis are especially encouraged to apply].
  • A high degree of professionalism in both written and verbal communications, as well as in-depth technical knowledge to address scientific questions are essential.
  • Knowledge and confidence to be comfortable working with external stakeholders including editors and authors.
  • Willing to learn about new scientific fields to understand the breadth of research published in the journal and its relationship to other journals in the ACS portfolio as the scope of the journal evolves.


Required Experience:

PhD but no experience required.


Travel Expectations:

Initial travel expectations will be minimal due to the ongoing pandemic. Later travel expectations may include in-country travel for events and activities and occasional international travel for meetings.
