I don't live in the USA and am therefore unsure whether I am eligible to apply for the position; in any case I do not think I would be able to guarentee having sufficient time. 

Nevertheless, I would be interested in seeing what is involved and, maybe, editing the odd article (I am an Addiciton Psychiatrist living in the UK and would be most interested in medical articles - particularly in relation to drug addiction).

Incidentaly, I read some of the responses and appreciate that there is scope for bias.  This will always be true and is at least visible (the real danger comes from undeclared conflicts of interest).

Best wishes, Peter
