German Life & Letters is looking to recruit a Social Media Editor to help develop the journal’s online profile. The role currently entails overseeing the journal’s Twitter account to promote new published content as well as relevant opportunities around conferences and prizes linked to the journal. This involves liaising with both the editorial board and the journal’s publisher, Wiley. Benefits include the opportunity to get an inside view of some of the strategy and day-to-day planning involved in running a major academic journal, and an annual honorarium of £700 paid in two instalments over the year. The workload amounts to c.60 hours across the year, and regularity of engagement is key.

 

The editorial board consists of: Professor Rebecca Braun (Lancaster), Professor Stephen Brockmann (Carnegie Mellon), Dr Steffan Davies (Bristol), Professor Eckart Goebel (Tübingen), Professor Margaret Littler (Manchester), Professor Ron C. Speirs (Birmingham), Professor Janet Stewart (Durham). We are supported by Dr Anna Carrdus (Editorial Assistant).

 

If you are interested, please write a short paragraph setting out your ideas for promoting the journal’s profile via social media and send it with a brief CV to Rebecca Braun: [log in to unmask] by 16 August 2019.
