Basel, Schweiz MDPI AG Vollzeit

To strengthen our Editorial team, we are looking for recent graduates who are eager to stay connected to scientific research by helping researchers worldwide publish their latest results. The position of Assistant Editor is a full-time and permanent position based in our city center office in Basel, Switzerland.

Tasks & Responsibilities
