Recruiting for Editor-in-Chief, Editorial Board Members and Peer Reviewers

Applied Earth Science

Deadline
10 October 2022

About the role

We are looking for a new Editor-in-Chief with a background in earth sciences, as well as the passion to drive the journal forward in an exciting period of change. It is a significant role, but one that is achievable within a continuing busy working schedule.

The successful candidate will be responsible for editorial oversight, decision-making on submissions and leading and working successfully with two Co-Editors on the journal. They will have authority to accept articles following successful peer review and will ensure that reviewers and authors adhere to the Journal’s Code of Publishing Ethics.

Taylor & Francis will provide remuneration for the role to cover any journal-related expenses. Taylor & Francis will also organise regular board meetings, and we will supply annual reports reflecting on the performance of the Journal. The Journal utilises an online editorial office system which the Editor will be offered training on, and on which peer-review admin support is provided.

Becoming the editor of a journal is a rewarding and fulfilling experience where you will build your own networks, promote the research that you are passionate about, and be recognized as a leading figure within the academic community.

In particular, we would be interested in hearing from candidates with experience or an interest in Open Access publishing.

*Applications for positions on the journal’s editorial board are also welcomed*
