Environment and Planning D: Society and Space is looking to appoint two new co-editors from early 2009 to replace Nigel Thrift and Gerry Pratt who are stepping down after many years of exemplary service to the journal.

 

You can find details of the journal here: http://www.envplan.com/D.html

 

Co-editors work closely with the editor in the preliminary assessment of all submissions, discussion of referee reports, and the whole process of revision, rejection and acceptance of papers. They are consulted by the editor on all matters of policy and content, including editorials, translations and special issues. Often they generate ideas and suggestions for the journal which are again discussed by the team.

 

We are looking for people with energy and enthusiasm, lots of good ideas, part of diverse networks, and with wide-ranging research interests. The aim is to appoint people whose expertise enhances rather than duplicates those of the existing team: Stuart Elden (Geography, Durham); Eduardo Mendieta (Philosophy, Stony Brook) and Emily Brady (Geography, Edinburgh). We are keen to have a geographically diverse group of editors, so applications both from within and beyond North America and Europe would be very welcome. Applications from the discipline of geography or other areas with an interest in the interrelation of society and space, broadly conceived, are equally welcome.

 

Expressions of interest should be sent by 1st December 2008 to [log in to unmask]. Informal inquiries are also welcome to that same address.
