Prior service on the Editorial Board of the JVS-CIT or other JVS publications is preferable but not required. The individual must be an Active or Senior Member of the Society for Vascular Surgery (SVS), have an interest in Surgical Videos, and demonstrate previous scholarly activity through peer reviewing or publishing. Candidates able to provide examples of initiatives they would undertake to expand the Vascular Video section of the JVS-CIT will be prioritized.
Key Responsibilities

This editor will have responsibility for handling the majority of submissions to the JVS-CIT “Vascular Video” and “Vascular Image” sections of the journal. Applicants must also be able to attend regular virtual editorial meetings with journal staff and editors
Conflict of Interest
Per the SVS Policy on Conflict, JVS editors may have no direct financial relationships with industry during their terms of service.

If the successful applicant currently has direct financial relationships with industry, these relationships must be terminated within six months of initial appointment.
NB: JVS editors may accept research support as long as funds are allocated to the institution where the research is being conducted, not directly to the individual. In all cases industry-sponsored research support, uncompensated services, and other permitted relationships must be disclosed to the SVS.
