The Association for the Study of Sport and the European Union (Sport&EU) is seeking applications for a position of co-editor of the Sport&EU Review.
The Sport&EU Review is entering its fourth year of publication. It is an electronic publication distributed in pdf format that is registered with its own ISSN and is currently indexed in EBSCOhost and International Platform of Sports Law Journals.
The team of three editors is responsible for the timely delivery of the Review three issues per year and, together with the Sport&EU committee, they will be looking at ways of developing the contents and the formats of the Review.
The tasks of the editors comprise:
- Timely publication and distribution of the journal three times per year
- Commissioning articles for the journal and managing the peer-review process
- Editing the journal’s contents
- Sending out of calls for contributions to the journal, as well as receiving articles and contributions
- Liaising with the Sport&EU committee to plan the contents and possible development of the journal
- Proposing medium-term development for the journal
Candidates should send a short CV and a cover letter with a vision statement (goals and plans for the content of the Review as well as an assessment of the current strengths and weaknesses) to review@sportandeu.com by Monday, 13 February 2012.
Applicants will be reviewed by the Search Committee immediately after the deadline submission date. The new co-editor will be involved in the preparation of Issue 1 of 2012 and is expected to be engaged at-par with the other co-editors by Issue 2 of the same year.
The new co-editor needs to be fluent in English. It might be an advantage if she or he has a knowledge of the sport and EU academic disciplines. It may also be an advantage if she or he has contacts beyond Sport&EU that can promote the association and the Review.
The new co-editor will be expected to manage her or his time as to allow for a timely filling of the issues.
Informal queries can be directed to Borja Garcia (b.garcia-garcia@lboro.ac.uk) or the editorial team of the Review (review@sportandeu.com).
We look forward to receiving your proposals. Please remember your involvement in Sport&EU is important to continue our growth.
