Open search for Co-editor
Search
The EEPS Foundation seeks to appoint an active scholar in east Europe studies to join the current editor of EEPS in leading the journal. The two Co-editors will define the journal’s profile, oversee the solicitation, peer review, and preparation of manuscripts for publication, edit thematic clusters and special issues, and coordinate the work of Associate Editors, Guest Editors, and reviewers.
The long tradition of collegial EEPS editorship responds to the challenges of the field’s broad diversity of languages, cultures, and subregions, and the variety of disciplinary approaches employed. The newly named Co-editor will complement the current Co-editor’s expertise in social science and her interest in Romania and south-east Europe.
EEPS Co-editors are assisted by the Managing Editor and utilize the editorial software and copyediting services provided by the publisher, Sage Publications.
The journal is fiscally sponsored by EEPS Foundation, a non-profit, tax-exempt organization, whose governing board names the Co-editors. The editors exercise full control over editorial policy to stimulate innovation and to ensure intellectual quality and disciplinary rigor.
The strongest candidates for the new position will be scholars who are familiar with EEPS as reviewers or authors, and who wish to contribute to the development of EEPS as an international, interdisciplinary journal in the humanities as well as the social sciences. Scholars of all disciplines will be given full consideration; however, scholars in the humanities, particularly historians, are encouraged to apply.
Terms
The new co-editor’s contract will extend to December 31, 2028, and will be renewable by mutual consent. Start date is negotiable. Each co-editor receives an allowance of $4,500USD per year to cover travel and office costs.
To apply
Expressions of interest, with a cover letter, resume of relevant experience (especially in editing and journal management) should be submitted to the EEPS Foundation’s Manager of Operations at manager@eepsfoundation.org.
