Calling all Medicine, Dentistry and Veterinary students at Bristol, Cardiff, Exeter and Plymouth

There’s an exciting opportunity to join the 2024 editorial team for the INSPIRE Student Health Sciences Research Journal.

The INSPIRE journal is looking for three students from each institution (in any year of study, 12 in total), to join the editorial team for the 2024 issues of the journal.

The successful applicants will be involved in the whole publication process, from the handling of article submissions (e.g. arranging for peer review and revision of manuscripts) to post-acceptance processing (e.g. copy-editing and proofreading), helping you to develop several skills, including academic writing, peer review, team work and working to tight deadlines. You will also have the opportunity to be involved in updating the website, co-ordinating social media promotion of the journal and creating podcasts.

Read the current issue of the journal at www.inspirestudentjournal.co.uk

To apply, please complete the application form here by Thursday 29 February: https://forms.gle/h7Us1JTP4A3HYJ9R9
