Why work with us at IOP Publishing:
Purpose: We are a world leader in the development of electronic publishing for the scientific community – working in the interests of science and scientists, we aim to maximise the impact of the research we publish.
Culture: We offer a truly international culture with offices in Europe, Asia and the US and our reach is global. Our culture is the perfect blend of dedicated and intelligent professionalism, informal, friendly collaboration and authenticity with a social conscience.

Flexibility: A flexible hybrid working environment to suit everyone’s needs – we don’t need you in the office every day so we can consider applicants from further afield who can travel to Bristol at least 2 days per week. (Any travel to the Bristol office is at the employee's expense).
