Making science better, together
Welcome and thank you for considering working with us! We are always on the lookout for exceptional people who are energised by our vision to accelerate scientific discovery through the delivery of first-class publishing services.
If you choose to join IOP Publishing, you will be working closely with some of the world’s smartest scientists and will truly help make scientific discoveries known to the world. As a learned society we gift-aid our operating profit to the Institute of Physics to directly support physics and the global scientific community. We have been doing this right from the beginning when we first started publishing more than a century ago. It’s one of the things that sets us apart from our large commercial rivals.
We’d love you to join our team of more than 400 colleagues, based in eight countries, and help us achieve our mission to advance high-quality research that delivers impact, recognition and value to the scientific community.
Best wishes,
Antonia Seymour, chief executive of IOP Publishing
