This role works closely with the Program Director and staff and with the AI's committees of medical subject matter experts, authors, and reviewers to develop, review, refine, publish, and keep up to date a portfolio of 25 to 35 clinical practice guidelines (depending on the funder's priorities) and a variety of collateral materials to enhance dissemination.
The Medical Editor II is also responsible for completing independent projects when assigned. Examples of independent projects include developing and implementing a system for program evaluation, developing and implementing a social media strategy and presence, and partnering with the National Library of Medicine to develop and implement a system for publishing and indexing all program guidelines with the NLM.

  • Apply subject matter expertise to edit manuscripts and other journal features.
  • Interact with authors on changes, agreement to copyright release and mandatory charges, deadlines, and production requirements.
  • Oversee the administrative function of the journal, e.g., publication budget, basic copy editing of non-scientific portions of the journal, editorial board meeting content and scheduling, advertising space and advertising goals, maintenance of online editing systems.
  • May establish author guidelines, resource materials, and make recommendations for the overall format for journals.

In addition to the duties described above:
  • Act as lead editor for specific guidelines: Perform background research to summarize current best practices and areas of potential controversy; identify and review existing reputable clinical practice guidelines (e.g., CDC, DHHS, NIH, IDSA); assist authors and writing groups in defining guideline and literature review scope (whether new or update); assist with literature search and documentation of evidence; ensure that lead authors understands and can apply the program's standards to guideline development; as first line of review, provide detailed feedback to authors through all stages of development; write effective author queries to help shape the text; shepherd the manuscript through multiple stages of review and revision by the writing group and committee, facilitating resolution of controversies when needed; create and maintain the EndNote reference database; develop the evidence table to facilitate rating of recommendations; ensure that all recommendations are rated for strength and quality of evidence; ensure that all required internal and external reviews are completed before submission to the NYSDOH AI for approval to publish; ensure fidelity between the approved manuscript and the published product.
  • Identify possible obstacles to manuscript completion and work proactively with the Managing Editor, author, and writing group to develop and implement solutions as needed.
  • As assigned or needed, propose, develop, and implement solutions and innovations to improve the program's efficiency and ability to meet the funder's priorities.
  • Participate in regular conference calls with authors, writing groups, and committee members to ensure that the development process does not stall and that authors are able to meet deadlines.
  • Travel domestically as needed for programming meetings and professional development.
  • Perform other duties as assigned.

Minimum Qualifications

  • Three years of related experience.
  • Additional education may substitute for required experience, and additional related experience may substitute for required education beyond a high school diploma/ graduation equivalent, to the extent permitted by the JHU equivalency formula.

  • Demonstrably strong medical editing skills (structural and substantive editing, fact checking, copyediting, referencing, and proofreading), with working knowledge of AMA and Council of Science Editors styles for medical writing and literature citation.

About Johns Hopkins University

Sourced by ZipRecruiter

Gilman believed that teaching and research go hand in hand—that success in one depends on success in the other—and that a modern university must do both well. He also believed that sharing our knowledge and discoveries would help make the world a better place. In 145 years, we haven’t strayed from that vision. This is still a destination for excellent, ambitious scholars and a world leader in teaching and research. Distinguished professors mentor students in the arts and music, humanities, social and natural sciences, engineering, international studies, education, business, and the health professions. Those same faculty members, along with their colleagues at the university’s Applied Physics Laboratory, have made us the nation’s leader in federal research and development funding every year since 1979. That’s a fitting distinction for America’s first research university, a place that has revolutionized higher education in the U.S. and continues to bring knowledge and discoveries to the world.
