CAS members and friends of the journal Ethnoarchaeology: Journal of Archaeological, Ethnographic and Experimental Studies, ask candidates to apply for a term as editor-in-chief of the journal.
The new editor would start in January 2025. There should be a backlog of about one issue. CAS members publish two issues a year, and the publisher (Taylor and Francis) has increased the page allocation, so the limit has gone from 90 to about 250 pages per issue. Submissions are international. The publisher does not provide editing support or a platform to manage the flow of manuscripts, so strong editing and document management skills are needed. As editor you have the opportunity to support emerging scholars and a diversity of approaches, and even nudge emerging directions in the field a bit. Solicitation of special issues based on conference symposia is one successful strategy.
The position description and the link for. submission of applications are available on the journal website here under “Updates”:
