Duties
- This is a voluntary position, which provides an important service to the profession.
- The Editorial Committee completes blind reviews of research manuscripts submitted for publication in the journal and serves in an advisory capacity to the Co-editors.
- Editorial board members may expect to review 1-2 new submissions per month, plus review of revisions as needed.
- Attendance at Editorial Committee meetings at the ISME World Conferences is desirable, but ISME cannot provide any funding for this.
The new Editorial Committee will be appointed by the end of July 2024.
The term of service will be 1 August 2024 through 31 December 2029.

Additional related experience, such as serving on review panels of other journals, editing/reviewing book manuscripts, supervising masters and doctoral thesis/dissertation research, etc., is also desirable.
