A new editor is needed for Viewpoint, the colourful and entertaining magazine of the British Society for the History of Science.
The role entails commissioning and editing copy and creating layout. A nose for good content, editorial accuracy, and ability to work to tight deadlines are all essential. The editor is supported in her/his tasks by an assistant, and software training can be provided. Normal tenure is three years.
The editorship is unpaid but generates excellent CV points. Former editor Rebekah Higgitt says ‘I probably owe my job at the National Maritime Museum to Viewpoint!’ A full job description is available from [log in to unmask] – applications to the same address by 31 March 2014.
Applications should consist of a brief CV and cover letter explaining interest in the role and any relevant experience, together with any ideas for updating the magazine.
