Careers

Senior Product Design Manager, Cureus, Inc.

San Francisco, CA - Full-time

Company Description

We believe that medical research should be easily accessible for physicians, researchers and patients alike. Prohibitive publishing fees, excessive waiting periods and an overly political process prevent many physician researchers from publishing valuable and important work.

That’s why we created Cureus, an online medical journal with no cost to publish and free reader access. We’re working to reduce these barriers to publication whenever possible with the goal of increasing the global literature of medical knowledge.

We’ve created a proprietary publishing system where authors can publish their work in as little as a few days (compared to several months for most journals), ensuring that valuable medical knowledge can make a difference right away.

Publishing quality medical science can cost thousands of dollars and take up to a year. It doesn’t have to be that way. We’re challenging the traditional model with our online publication system that provides authors with a fast, efficient and affordable experience!
