We are currently looking for new Associate Editors to join our team of academic editors, assessing manuscripts in the field of bioinformatics. We are particularly interested in hearing from researchers specializing in machine learning and artificial intelligence but all applications will be considered.
The BMC Series Editorial site serves as a home for editorial board resources and as an online community, facilitating interaction and networking between the editorial board and the BMC series in-house team.
