**Job Title: Associate or Senior Editor Nature Water** **Location: Shanghai, Beijing and Mila****n – hybrid working model ** **Application Deadline: July 10, 2026** **About Springer Nature** Springer Nature is one of the leading publishers of research in the world. We publish the largest number of journals and books and are a pioneer in open research. Through our leading brands, trusted for more than 180 years, we provide technology-enabled products, platforms and services that help researchers to uncover new ideas and share their discoveries, health professionals to stay at the forefront of medical science, and educators to advance learning.

The Nature Portfolio journals include Nature, the Nature Research journals, the Nature Reviews journals, Nature Communications as well as the Communications journals and npj series. Do you love science but feel that a career at the bench isn’t enough to state your desire to learn more about scientific research? Do you enjoy reading papers outside your chosen area of research? If the answer is ‘yes’ to any or all these questions, you could be the person we’re looking for to join the Nature Portfolio editorial team. To help us build on the success of the portfolio, we’re seeking an editor with experience in any field related to water resources science, who has a critical eye, a deep understanding of their subject and interests beyond, and who can think on their feet. We are particularly interested in candidates with a background in hydrology, including areas such as hydroclimatology, hydraulic engineering, water resources systems analysis and management, remote sensing and hydrogeodesy, hydrogeology, ecohydrology, and sociohydrology.
