Nominations are open for the Organic Chemistry Frontiers Early Career Advisory Board

08 Nov 2023

This year marks the beginning of the Organic Chemistry Frontiers Early Career Advisory Board, which aims to provide a direct means of communication between the journal and researchers in organic chemistry who are early in their career. Members of the Early Career Advisory Board will help shape the future of Organic Chemistry Frontiers through providing fresh, innovative perspectives.

Researchers on the Early Career Advisory Board will provide feedback on the journal’s scientific standards, suggest emerging topics and researchers for the journal to feature, and will contribute to promotional and visibility initiatives within their community. Members will normally serve a term of two years, with an option for reappointment for a maximum of two consecutive terms.

The Early Career Advisory Board is open to academic or industry researchers in all countries, with the requirement that they are no more than five years from starting an independent research position. Self-nominations are very welcome, and the nomination period closes on November 30th, 2023.
