Journal of Cell Science and its publisher The Company of Biologists are seeking to appoint a new Community Manager to run our microscopy community website, FocalPlane. We are looking for an enthusiastic and motivated person with fresh ideas and a willingness to learn to join us to develop and maintain this site. Please see the full job description for further details.

The application deadline is 31 January 2022.

Our Transformative Journals have exceeded their OA growth targets

Development, Journal of Cell Science and Journal of Experimental Biology are Transformative Journals, meaning that they gradually increase their share of Open Access research content each year. Our journals have not only met, but exceeded their Open Access growth targets for 2021.

Find out more about our Transformative Journals and our Read & Publish initiative.

Cell scientist to watch: Stefanie Redemann

Journal of Cell Science caught up with Stefanie Redemann, who started her independent research group at the University of Virginia School of Medicine in 2018. Stefanie is using interdisciplinary approaches to study spindle assembly and chromosome segregation in both mitosis and meiosis. Read the full interview here.

Call for papers: Cell Biology of Motors

Journal of Cell Science is pleased to welcome submissions for consideration for an upcoming special issue, Cell Biology of Motors, which will be guest edited by Anne Straube (University of Warwick, UK). Submission deadline: 15 July 2022.
