The SSA is looking for a new Editor-in-Chief for Addiction Biology – a journal that focuses on advancing the understanding of substances and addiction from a neuroscience perspective. Apply by 8 October 2026.
With the retirement of Professor Rainer Spanagel at Addiction Biology after more than two decades, there is an exciting opportunity to lead this scientific journal into a new era.
Addiction Biology publishes papers spanning behavioural, molecular, genetic, biochemical, neurobiological, and pharmacological fields of animal experimentation and clinical research.
The ideal candidate for Editor-in-Chief will be enthusiastic about ensuring that Addiction Biology becomes the home for the most important, influential, and widely cited advances in addiction biology.
Find out more and apply by 17:00 BST on 8 October 2026. If you would like to discuss the role, please email the SSA’s Chief Executive Officer, Dr Rob Calder.
The Society for the Study of Addiction (SSA) is a UK registered charity with a mission to advance the scientific understanding of addictive products and behaviours and the use of this knowledge in policy and practice. The SSA owns two academic journals – Addiction and Addiction Biology – and invests all income from these publications back into the sector to support people, projects, and research in addiction science.
