Publishing in Nature Journals
Following up on interesting things happening at SFN, our chief editor Sandra Aamodt (along with Nature and Nature Reviews Neuroscience editors) gave a talk on Monday on publishing in Nature journals. One of the aims of the talk was to give people a better idea about exactly what happens to a paper once it has been submitted to us. The whole editorial process can sometimes appear to be a bit mysterious, and we are hoping to take away some of the mystery in this talk. Did we succeed? Did you find this talk useful? Feedback welcome!

this isn't exactly related.. but what was up with that editorial position you guys were advertising at the conference? i didn't get to talk to anyone about it, and for that matter i don't have a PhD yet so i can't apply. but i was wondering what type of people usually end up with that job. is it people who just got their PhD or more like people coming out of their post-doc or profs looking for extra work?

We are indeed advertising for an assistant editor, preferably specializing in systems neuroscience: here is the job ad. You do need a PhD, and most of us have some post-doc experience as well, though not at a professorial level. And its a full-time position, so its certainly not right for anyone looking for a little extra work on the side. So if you are systems neuroscientist looking to expand your horizons, do send us your application: the last date is the 18th of December.
