Focused in-house training in editing scholarly content according to MDPI's conventions by experienced editors.
Performance-based quarterly bonuses.
Clear progression pathways.
Flexible Working Times
Employees can apply for different working hours after probation (8 am to 5 pm, 8:30 am to 5:30 pm, or 9 am to 6 pm).
Competitive Leave Packages
Fourteen days of annual leave, in addition to medical leaves, which are prorated, after the successful completion of the first three months of work.
Application Process
Candidates must submit their CV and cover letter. Shortlisted candidates will be contacted and asked to complete two editing tests. If successful, candidates will be invited to an interview, which is the final stage of the application process.
Diversity, Equality, and Inclusion
At MDPI, we believe in fostering an inclusive work environment that respects and values individual differences and prioritises growth through continuous learning, support, and feedback. We are always seeking new initiatives to advance diversity and inclusion across all our offices to create a more equal workforce.
Initiatives
MDPI is committed to promoting sustainability projects through the MDPI Sustainability Foundation. Sustainability is a key theme in many of our journals.
