The Journal of Chemical Theory and Computation (JCTC) is excited to announce its inaugural Early Career Board (ECB). The first of its kind for the journal, the ECB initiative provides young investigators with guidance and insight into the editorial process as they pursue their independent research careers. The members of the ECB will play an influential role in shaping the growth and evolution of JCTC, building upon the success of the journal to date.
The ECB members will provide input on the journal strategies, act as ambassadors of the journal in the scientific community, drive the journal's scope into new and emerging areas, and ensure the journal is the home for world-class computational chemists and theorists.
We invite you to learn more about each of JCTC's ECB members and their visions for shaping the journal over the next two years.
