Desired Candidate Profile
We are currently looking for sub-editors in the medical and life sciences field, and if you fit the bill, find out what we have in store for you...
You get to read and edit cutting-edge research in the sciences, with the aim of making them ready for publication in international journals. Make the nitpicker in you happy, ensuring a grammatically correct, logical, well structured, and coherent document. You will need to be up to speed with British and American English usage. You may also be required to comment on the content of manuscripts.
So, is it necessary to be a good writer to be a good editor? Not really: the role does not require you to write any content. Your editing work will be reviewed by a senior editor on an assignment basis, and you will be given regular feedback to ensure constant improvement.
Of course, we all want to know about money! Our remuneration will be commensurate with industry standards and in keeping with professional experience. International candidates will be provided with assistance in finding suitable accommodation.

Job Description
Do you find yourself correcting badly written ads? Do you read the newspaper and think, “Grrr, so many errors”?
If so, you’re an editor at heart. Now, you can make your love for the language your profession!
If you’re wondering about the people you will be working with, this can only get better. Picture this: 5 offices full of young, dynamic editors, huddled in groups, discussing the pros and cons of using this and that comma, that article, that sentence...the list is endless, and the discussions generally end in cups of coffee, stirred furiously and loudly in the office pantries.
So, what can you bring to this dynamic table?
Quite obviously, you must have excellent written-English skills and be able to work under very tight deadlines. Brush up on your Microsoft Word skills; you will need them to format journal articles. At Cactus, we value a job well done: effective time-management skills and receptiveness to feedback will ensure swift career progression. Prior experience in English editing, writing, content development, or English-language instruction are preferred. A bachelor’s degree (or above) will give your application an added advantage.
