Dear GEPers, Nature Climate Change is advertising for a social scientist to fill a one-year slot as an Associate Editor, as you can see in the following ad. I'm told that a sociologist would be very welcome, but all social scientistis with strong quantitative skills would be appropriate. While this is a full-time job, it could be a very rewarding position for a young scholar who would like to become immersed in work on climate change and live in London--and worth a leave-of-absence if you already have a job. If you would like more information on the position, you can contact Monica Contestabile at m.contestab...@nature.com.
