Dear all
Gender, Place and Culture: A Journal of Feminist Geography is Seeking a new Editor
Gender, Place and Culture, published by Taylor and Francis, is a well-established geography journal with an international circulation in its field. The current Managing Editor is Peter Hopkins who will be replaced with Pamela Moss from January 2017. This year, the journal will publish twelve issues. It accepts submissions via ScholarOne Manuscripts. The journal currently has an impact factor of 1.180 and its rankings in Journal Citation Reports are 38/77 (Geography) and 13/40 (Women's Studies).
We are looking for a new editor to join our editorial team. The editors will start by 'shadowing' a current editor from March or April 2017 taking on the full role from July 2017. S/he would be expected to start editing papers independently thereafter. Most editors serve a three to five year term.
Candidates should have a broad knowledge of the field of feminist geography and of women's and gender studies, be open to a wide range of studies submitted by scholars from all world regions, have access to e-mail and internet, and have excellent editing skills. Our preference is for people who already have editorial experience as they will be expected to take on a number of papers fairly soon after joining the journal. In light of the distribution of the current Editors, we particularly encourage applications from outside of the UK.
Applications should consist of a letter detailing the candidate's editorial experience, and their vision and ambitions for the journal, plus a CV. Nominations of suitable persons are also being solicited.
Closing date for applications is Tuesday 20th December 2016. Further information about the activities and responsibilities of the editors can be obtained from Peter Hopkins. Nominations and applications should be sent to Peter Hopkins ([log in to unmask]).

Best wishes
Peter
