Early Career Editorial Advisory Board

The Early Career Editorial Advisory Board (ECEAB) advises the Editors on matters of specific importance to early career researchers, on the scientific and educational content of the journal, and on matters of editorial policy. Each year, five board members are chosen in a highly competitive application process by a committee of members of the existing Editorial Advisory Board (including the ECEAB). In addition, the winner of the Future Luminary Award is invited to join the ECEAB. For more information and how to apply, please see the informational site.
