Hi All,
I came across the following job opportunity and thought I'd share it
with the group. It came about via a working group I'm participating in.
Standard Disclaimer: I don't work for the organization offering the job
and I'm not a recruiter.
In addition to the requirements below, familiarity with Open Access and
STEM publishing would be a big plus.
If you're interested feel free to ask me questions.
