We wish our departing Chief Editor Natalie de Souza and Senior Editor Tal Nawy all the best as they return to their roots in academia!

Beginning in early November, long-time team member Allison Doerr stepped into the role of Chief Editor. She is now leading the team of Senior Editors Nicole Rusk, Nina Vogt, and Rita Strack, all based in New York, and Associate Editor Lei Tang, who joined the team in June and will be based in Shanghai beginning in 2019. The team of manuscript editors is rounded out by journalist Vivien Marx. Nature Methods is recruiting two new PhD editors with a strong interest in methodology development, a willingness to learn new areas, and excellent communication skills to join the team; please see our advertisement in NatureJobs.
