Historically, Power Technology and Engineering has published selected translated content from two Russian journals: Gidrotekhnicheskoe Stroitel’stvo (Hydrotechnical Construction) and Elektricheskie Stantsii (Electrical Power Stations).
Springer Nature now intends to develop the journal into a fully international journal that accepts direct submissions in English from researchers around the world.
To support this exciting change, we are looking for a visionary Editor-in-Chief who will support the development of the journal's direct submission segment.
About the Role
We are looking for a candidate who will:
- Provide strategic vision to develop Power Technology and Engineering as a reputable publication platform for the international scientific community, operating in parallel and independently from the Editors-in-Chief managing the translated content.
- Bring strong academic credentials in electrical power systems (or a closely related field), with prior editorial experience and a well-established network of research contacts.
- Inspire and support a global Editorial Board and actively promote the journal within the international research community.
- Stay informed of emerging trends in power engineering and academic publishing, and be open to innovation.
- Uphold and champion principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion across all aspects of the journal’s operations.
Key Responsibilities
- Collaborate with the publisher to define and implement journal development goals for direct submissions.
- Recruit, support, and manage an inclusive and diverse Editorial Board that reflects the journal’s scope and submission base.
- Oversee the peer-review process and take final responsibility for editorial decisions on direct submissions.
- Maintain rigorous editorial standards and ensure the integrity of the research published.
- Proactively commission content and encourage high-quality submissions from across the global research community.
Application Process
All candidates should submit their CV and a cover letter outlining their suitability and providing a vision statement for Power Technology and Engineering.
For more information and further discussion of the role, please do not hesitate to contact Tatiana Golea, Associate Publisher at Springer Nature.
Applications should be submitted by email to tatiana.golea@springer.com.
The final closing date for applications is 31 December 2025, but applications are encouraged as soon as possible.
