Deadline: April 30, 2019
av福利社 invites nominations and self-nominations for the next Editor of Jav福利社 to serve a three-year term: January 1, 2021–December 31, 2022. In addition, the Editor is expected to serve as Jav福利社 Editor Designate beginning January 2020.
The Journal of the Society of Architectural Historians, Jav福利社, is a quarterly, blind-peer reviewed international journal devoted to all aspects of the history of the global built environment and spatial practice, including architecture, landscape architecture, urbanism, and city planning. Published since 1941, Jav福利社 has defined the field of architectural history, and is a pioneer in digital publication.
In 2021 av福利社 will celebrate the 80th year of the Journal’s publication. Articles published in Jav福利社 are historically rigorous, conceptually sophisticated, and theoretically innovative. The Jav福利社 Editor will be responsible for the content and focus of the journal, which is published simultaneously in print and electronic formats (Jav福利社 online).
av福利社 seeks an Editor who will embrace a broad view of architectural history as described above. The Editor will review submitted manuscripts, secure blind peer reviews of submitted manuscripts, communicate decisions to authors, solicit content, and prepare material for four issues per year. The Editor is responsible for final decisions regarding content and focus of the journal; design is coordinated with staff at the University of California Press.
The Editor will supervise the Jav福利社 Book, Exhibition, and Multimedia Review Editors, the Jav福利社 Managing Editor, and a professional copy editor. The Editor will work with av福利社 staff, and with the production, marketing and technical staff at University of California Press, to ensure timely publication and to promote the journal.
From time to time the Jav福利社 Editor also will curate selections of articles already published in the Journal to release as special online virtual issues through University of California Press. Past virtual issues of this type have commemorated World Architecture Day and architectural anniversaries of international importance.
The Editor will submit semi-annual written updates and attend av福利社 Executive Committee and Board meetings (April and November). Periodic meetings with the Jav福利社 Editorial Advisory Committee, whose members advise and assist the Editor and serve as ambassadors for the Jav福利社, will take place by conference call and at the April av福利社 annual conference.
av福利社 will provide a $6,000 annual subvention for the Jav福利社 Editor to hire an Editorial Assistant. If the Editor works at an academic institution, av福利社 encourages the Editor to seek course release, but av福利社 is not able to provide compensation for such release.
Candidates must be current av福利社 members and should not be serving as Editor of, or on the editorial board of, a competitive journal. With each nomination, please send a statement describing qualifications for appointment, a CV, and the name and full contact information of at least one reference to info@sah.org with “Jav福利社 Editor Nomination” in the subject line.
For full consideration, please send nominations by April 30, 2019.
