Become a peer reviewer for the Genetics Society of America
Sign up for the GSA Journals Peer Review Training Program and unlock a world of opportunities. Peer reviewers are vital to science, but early career scientists in our field rarely receive formal training in how to be a good reviewer.
Early career scientists from anywhere in the world are encouraged to apply. We particularly welcome applications from members who lack opportunities to receive peer review training in their home labs or departments.
