• A bachelor’s degree in any subject.
• Expert knowledge of the English language.
• Experience in editing, translating, or publishing.
• Excellent time management and organisation skills.
• High attention to detail.
• Ability to work both independently and as part of an international team.

Benefits

· Training and Bonuses

- Focused in-house training in editing scholarly content according to MDPI’s conventions by experienced editors.

- Performance-based quarterly bonuses.

- Clear progression pathways.

· Flexible Working Times

- Employees can apply for different working hours after probation (8 am to 5 pm, 8:30 am to 5:30 pm, or 9 am to 6 pm).

· Competitive Leave Packages

- Fourteen days of annual leave, in addition to medical leaves, which are prorated, after the successful completion of the first three months of work.

Application Process

Candidates must submit their CV and cover letter. Shortlisted candidates will be contacted and asked to complete two editing tests. If successful, candidates will be invited to an interview, which is the final stage of the application process.

Diversity, Equality, and Inclusion

We are always seeking new initiatives to advance diversity and inclusion across all our offices to create a more equal workforce.
