EMBL Heidelberg

EMBL is Europe's life sciences laboratory - an intergovernmental organisation with more than 110 independent research groups and service teams covering the spectrum of molecular biology.

It operates across six sites in Heidelberg (headquarters), Barcelona, Cambridge, Grenoble, Hamburg and Rome.

Our mission is to perform basic research in molecular biology; train scientists, students and visitors at all levels; offer vital services to scientists in the public and private sectors within the member states; develop new instruments and methods; and engage actively in technology transfer.

Science in School is the prestigious European journal for science teachers.

Its mission is to support teachers in the delivery of their STEM curricula, by connecting them to inspiring, cutting-edge science and technology.

Science in School is a collaborative effort by eight pan-European research organizations, which span the full breadth of the life, physical, environmental and computational sciences and engineering.

Published in English, the journal provides teachers with articles, lesson plans and background materials to support classroom activity, and aims to help teachers inspire and enthuse students.

Following an extensive review process, the journal was switched from a print-based to a fully online model to provide better functionality and reach.

The editorial assistant will provide administrative and editorial support to assist the editor with the overall content acquisition and production of the journal.
