NDT Editorial Fellowship Call 2024
NDT is excited to launch its second Editorial Fellowship program to broaden the spectrum of expertise of the Editorial Board and to offer a learning opportunity in the process of medical publishing.
What does the Editorial Fellowship offer and ask: Editorial Fellows work hand-in-hand with one of our Associate Editors (Natalie Staplin, Stefanie Steiger, Rajiv Agarwal, Michel Jadoul, Rainer Oberbauer, Rulan Parekh, Peter Rossing, Augusto Vaglio) and will be involved in all aspects of the editorial process, i.e., screening incoming submissions, triage or invite reviewers, evaluate their assessments, and then present and discuss these during the weekly Editorial Board meeting. They will support the response letters to the authors which must clearly define the editorial requests and priorities.
All NDT Editorial Fellows will be acknowledged in the list of NDT Editors both online and in the print issues of the journal. They will also receive an official certificate at the end of their term.
Required profile: Junior faculty/assistant professor level or senior postdocs (from all world regions) with a clinical or experimental research profile documented by (some) original first/last author publications. We also encourage candidates with an interdisciplinary background (nephrology +) or specific expertise in bioinformatics or innovative techniques to apply.
How to apply: The fellowship will start on June 15, 2024, and will be for 12 months. Applications are due May 15, 2024. Please send the following material in a single PDF file to ndt@era-online.org:
- Motivation statement and the name of one of the Associate Editors with whom you would like to work and a rationale for this choice (max. 1 page).
- Short curriculum vitae including a brief description of your specific expertise in the domain of kidney medicine/science (max. 2 pages).
- List of peer-reviewed publications (no abstracts/posters).
