Full Job Description

Company Description

The American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG) is the only nationally recognized medical specialty society in the United States dedicated to the field of medical genetics and genomics. ACMG publishes a family of peer-reviewed journals advancing genomic medicine worldwide.

Job Description

ACMG is seeking an inaugural Editor-in-Chief (EIC) to lead Genetics in Medicine Translational Genomics (GIM TG), a new open access journal launching in 2027. GIM TG is dedicated to translating genomic discoveries into clinical practice and therapeutics, and will serve as a global forum at the interface of genomics and medicine.

GIM TG is an official ACMG journal and companion to Genetics in Medicine and Genetics in Medicine Open. The inaugural EIC will serve alongside the Editors-in-Chief of the companion journals as part of ACMG's integrated publications leadership team.

Therapeutics: gene therapy and gene editing
Research and development: preclinical and non-human studies, biotechnology, bioengineering, and technological developments in biological sciences
Computational sciences: bioinformatics and related methodologies

The journal will publish Original Research, Reviews, Commentaries, Case Reports, Clinical Utility Studies, and Methods & Protocols, and welcomes Negative Data.
