The JID Editor serves a five-year term from June 1, 2027, through May 31, 2032. The journal is a top-ranked publication in dermatology with an Impact Factor of 5.7 (2024), and the Editor plays a critical role in advancing the communication of skin science globally.

The ideal candidate is a dynamic, recognized investigator with a strong commitment to scientific communication. Responsibilities include selecting content for publication, developing a strategic vision for the journal, and recruiting an effective editorial board to reflect the breadth of investigative dermatology.
