Early Career Researcher (ECR) review opportunity
The Editors of Health Psychology Open have an exciting opportunity for Early Career Researchers (ECR) to become reviewers for the journal. An ECR is someone who is completing postgraduate training such as a PhD or postdoctoral training or is someone who has completed their training in the last few years. ECRs who have not yet been awarded their PhD or doctoral qualification should be supported by a supervisor when completing their review. Training and resources on completing the review process will be made available. If you would like to become an ECR reviewer for the journal, please email the journal editors (hpoeditor@gmail.com) with a short expression of interest outlining your current position in relation to career development and your expertise in relation to health psychology topics and methodological approaches. We will be in touch to invite you to a meeting where further information will be provided.
