Call for Applications
Editorial Assistant, HAU Books (www.haubooks.org)
The Society of Ethnographic Theory and HAU are opening a search for an
Editorial Assistant to assist the Managing Editor in the daily
responsibilities of book production.
We are seeking an engaged, highly-motivated, and diligent individual to
assist HAU’s editorial team in the production and promotion of our book
series. Applicants should share HAU’s vision for open access anthropology,
be willing to contribute their skills and passion to the long-term growth
of the book series, and to show both the initiative and vision necessary to
further the aims of the HAU publishing program.
Tasks include (but are not limited to): proofreading and preparing
manuscripts, assisting with manuscript review processes, liaising with the
promotions department of University of Chicago Press, and researching
potential avenues for the promotion of the press in general.
The Editorial Assistant is expected to contribute, on average, about eight
to ten hours per week, for a year. We are seeking individuals highly
supportive of the open access cause: the position will be compensated in
the form of an annual honorarium, and will afford the experience and
training in both print and open access publishing.
Selection criteria
** Fluency in English, attention to detail, daily access to email and
internet, and excellent verbal and written communication skills to carry
out duties effectively and on time.
** Prior experience in publishing and/or website maintenance will be an
advantage.
Position responsibilities
** The editorial assistant will be required to work closely with the
editorial team to complete weekly tasks relating to the preparation of
manuscripts, licensing and permissions, peer-review processes, and clerical
work (contacting authors, guest editors, and collaborators); and periodic
tasks relating to website updates, mailings, and promotions.
** The editorial assistant will be required to meet all deadlines and
maintain regular, clear communication with other members of the editorial
team.
** The editorial assistant will be required to work independently and
maintain a strict schedule on all weekly tasks.
Expressions of interest are welcome from all qualified candidates
regardless of location or field of expertise. Please submit a cover letter
and an updated CV no later than May 7th to Kate Herman, Managing Editor (
