Eco-Environmental Sciences | A New Journal Seeking an Editor-in-Chief and Accepting Applications for Editorial Positions

In an era of unprecedented global environmental change—climate warming, biodiversity loss, land-use intensification, and resource scarcity—understanding how ecological and social systems co-evolve, adapt, and potentially collapse is one of the most pressing scientific challenges of the 21st century. To address this critical need, MDPI will be launching a broad-interest and high-quality journal, Eco-Environmental Sciences, an open access journal publishing full research papers in the interdisciplinary fields of ecology and environmental science.

We are now seeking a founding Editor-in-Chief to develop Eco-Environmental Sciences into a leading flagship journal in this field.

The main responsibilities of the Editor-in-Chief include the following:

• Setting the scope and direction of the journal;
• Advising on the strategic development of the journal;
• Ensuring the quality of the published content;
• Coordinating the Editorial Board and stimulating their contributions to the journal;
• Promoting the journal at scientific conferences and through other venues.

We also welcome scientists in the field of ecology and environmental science to join our Editorial Board.

A full application for evaluation should include these items:

• An up-to-date CV;
• A description of the candidate’s vision for Eco-Environmental Sciences.

Applications are due by 31 December 2026. Please send your application and direct questions to the Eco-Environmental Sciences Editorial Office.
