Anaesthesia LMIC-based Editorial Fellowship: January 2027 – January 2028
Getting a paper published is hard work and so too is gaining the skills, knowledge, and experience to become an Editor. Following publication of a consensus statement on measures to promote equitable authorship within international partnerships, and recognising a need to increase representation and diversity within our editorial board, Anaesthesia is looking to support an exceptional trainee anaesthetic doctor based in Southern Africa to develop editorial skills.
Objectives:
- Under direct supervision, you will review 1–2 manuscripts a week submitted to Anaesthesia under direct supervision. You will spend 4 months with three separate Editors and learn how to construct decision letters and subedit accepted manuscripts for style before publication
- You will undertake a project with supervision from one or more Editors to be presented at a major Association of Anaesthetists meeting, with the aim of submitting for publication
- You will contribute to an editorial published in Anaesthesia
- You will attend editorial meetings held throughout the year (usually four) remotely
- You will be involved with areas of special clinical interest as well as contributing to live broadcasts and podcasts
- You will compile a report at the end of the Fellowship, to be submitted to the Editorial Board and the Fellow’s School of Anaesthesia/Deanery as appropriate (journal appraisal)
There will be an honorarium of £2500 for the year with additional support for data costs and travel (for one in-person meeting per year) according to usual Association of Anaesthetists policy. The successful applicant will also receive membership of the Association of Anaesthetists during this year, with associated benefits and training opportunities.
You must:
- Be a qualified medical doctor with a M.MED degree or equivalent in anaesthesia
- Be working in a training position or be within 3 years of starting a substantive (fully trained) position Applications should:
- Include a one-page CV and copies of medical and anaesthetic qualifications
- Include a 300-word outline of a project that you wish to undertake with an Editor which should be relevant to the remit of the journal
- Be formatted in accordance with Anaesthesia journal style
Applications must be sent via email by midnight on Friday 27 November 2026 to [email protected]. Shortlisted applicants may be asked to undertake an editorial task or interviewed remotely. The Fellowship will start in January 2027.
