Dear Colleagues,

We are seeking 7 new members to join the Work, Employment and Society Editorial Board and serve for three years from January 2020 to December 2022. Applications must be submitted by Thursday 19 September 2019, 17:00 (BST).

 

About the Editorial Board

WES publishes research on the sociology of work and employment. Applicants are therefore asked to demonstrate a commitment to the general area of sociology as well as to specific areas of expertise. The Editorial Board is a working board, which is important to the day-to-day functioning and overall strategy of this innovative and highly regarded journal.

Editorial Board members are involved in reviewing submissions and advising the Editorial team on the strategic direction of the journal.  On average, members of the Editorial Board receive 16 papers to review each year, depending on their areas of expertise, and are expected to return their reviews within four weeks of receipt.

The Editorial Board meets twice a year. Successful applicants will be invited to attend the next Editorial Board meeting, at the end of January 2020.

 

Criteria for Application

Prospective Editorial Board members must:

•             have experience of being published in refereed journals

•             have refereed a minimum of three articles for peer review journals

•             be nominated by a current BSA member

•             become BSA members upon election and maintain membership throughout their term

•             not be a member of the Sociology Editorial Board

•             be based at a UK institution

 

The Board invites applications involving any areas of methodological, theoretical and empirical expertise, though candidates with expertise in the following areas are particularly needed:

•             Mental health

•             Health

•             Disability

•             Gender

•             Digital work/digitalization

•             The Global South

•             Quantitative Methods

 

WES welcomes members from any cultural or academic background to contribute to the diversity of research published by the journal. The journal is unable to consider applications from institutions where there are already two or more Editorial Board members. Also, we do not accept candidates from the same institutions as the Editors. This year we are unable to accept applicants from Birkbeck, University of London; University of Hertfordshire; Manchester Metropolitan University; Middlesex University; and University of Nottingham.

If you have queries about the role or about your eligibility, please contact the Chair of the Editorial Board, Professor Irena Grugulis ([log in to unmask])
