Applications are invited December 1-31, 2020, for the AJT Editorial Fellowship, a program which offers a year-long editorial experience in the publication and peer review process to fellows and junior faculty in transplant-related fields.

Fellows will work directly with senior AJT editors and staff to gain experience in the day-to-day steps of peer review and publication through a curriculum and rotation-based training.

• Teach fellows to become high-quality peer reviewers
• Master the intersection between an academic journal and continuing medical education
• Enhance the online and visual presence of AJT
