The American Physical Society is inviting applications or nominations as part of an international search for the Lead Editor of Physical Review C. The Lead Editor will provide intellectual leadership and vision for editorial standards and policies, direct the journal, and lead its editorial board and staff of editors. Physical Review C (PRC) is dedicated to publishing innovative research that will significantly advance the fundamental understanding of nuclear physics. PRC is strongly supported by APS’s Division of Nuclear Physics (DNP), and closely interacts with the DNP board to expand its scope into emerging research areas of nuclear physics.

The ideal candidate will possess the following qualifications: stature in a field of research within the scope of PRC and a broad interest in the other areas it covers; editorial service with scholarly journals; ability to work effectively with an international community of authors, referees, and editors; an understanding of the challenges faced by authors from underrepresented groups; and the advocacy skills, integrity, and wisdom to lead the journal.

The Lead Editor may maintain their present position and location while devoting 10% to 20% of their time to this position. The initial appointment is for a three-year term with renewal possible after review. Compensation is negotiable and dependent on established time commitment. The desired starting date is 1 August 2021, but other arrangements can be made.
