To grow and strengthen our Editorial team at the Seoul office of MDPI, we are looking for recent graduates who are eager to stay engaged with academia and contribute to making scientific research widely accessible by helping researchers worldwide publish their latest results.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it

  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
