Singapur, Singapore MDPI Pte Ltd Full time

MDPI Singapore was established in February 2021, as the Asia-Pacific regional centre of the Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), a pioneer publisher that focuses on open access journals. Taking advantage of Singapore as the global business and technology hub, the Singapore office will work closely with our offices in China, Tokyo and Thailand to develop further collaboration with the scientific community in the Asia-Pacific area.

The Role

Area: Editing and Academic Publishing

MDPI is the largest open access publisher in the world, with over 400 journals across a wide range of disciplines. Our mission is to foster open science and scientific exchange by delivering high-quality peer-reviewed research to scholars around the globe. The English Editing Department works to ensure that all of MDPI’s manuscripts are published with clarity, consistency, and grammatical accuracy.


The Role: English Editor

We are looking for meticulous and dedicated individuals with a strong grasp of the English language and the nuances of academic writing to support scholars publishing their research. English Editors support academic research by editing the language of peer-reviewed papers to a publication-ready standard.


This is a full-time, in-office, entry-level position based in Singapore. Successful applicants undergo a probation period in which in-house training is provided by an experienced editor, after which there are opportunities to diversify the role and gain expertise in new areas.


Responsibilities

  • Edit scholarly articles submitted to MDPI journals to a publication-ready standard.
  • Apply knowledge of the English language and the context of the manuscript to make the English clear, consistent, and grammatically correct, communicating the author’s message without changing their voice unnecessarily.
  • Ensure manuscripts align with MDPI’s house rules.
  • Meet tight deadlines and hit targets with a high degree of consistency.
  • Take on additional roles, such as training colleagues within and outside of the department and editing corporate material.
  • Collaborate with members of Editorial and Production teams.


Benefits

· Training and Bonuses

- 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.
