Frontline Gastroenterology is inviting trainees to apply to join its editorial board. The Trainee Editor position is a two-year appointment reporting directly to the Editor-in-Chief, and is open to anyone currently in a training post.

For trainees with an interest in academic publishing, medical education or service improvement, this is a chance to work inside the editorial process of a peer-reviewed journal and to contribute to the future of the specialty.

What the role involves

• Editorial work - reviewing submitted manuscripts and supporting the Associate Editors and Editor-in-Chief with the journal's core peer-review and editorial decisions
• Educational content - developing podcasts, webinars and blogs that translate published work into teaching for trainees and the wider multidisciplinary team
• Reach - building the journal's social media presence so that papers on new models of care find a national and international readership
• Trainee voice - representing the views of trainees at editorial meetings and helping to shape the journal's strategy, content and direction

Who should apply

The only requirement is that you are currently in training post. Applications are encouraged from trainees in the UK and overseas, and you do not need previous editorial experience. If you have ideas for how FG could better serve trainees, cover gaps in the literature on service delivery or reach colleagues it currently misses, the editorial team would like to hear them!

How to apply

Send a CV and covering letter, setting out your reasons for applying and the ideas you would bring to the role, to the Deputy Editors, Dr Aditi Kumar and Dr Oliver Tavabie. Contact details, including those of the current Trainee Editors for informal enquiries, are here.

Deadline for applications: Wednesday 16 December 2026. Interviews are expected in early January 2027.
