SSR has commenced a search for successors to the current Editors-in-Chief of Biology of Reproduction, Drs. Romana Nowak and Mary Zelinski, whose term ends June 30, 2025.

Applicants should demonstrate their strong commitment to high standards for peer review and to maintaining Biology of Reproduction as the premiere journal in its field.
