Recruiting for Co-Editor

Dix-Neuf

Deadline
31 March 2023

About the role

Routledge and the Society of Dix-Neuviémistes are seeking to appoint a new co-editor to join the Dix-Neuf team.

Dix-Neuf currently has three editors, each serving for a term of five years, and we are very grateful for the contributions of Masha Belenky (George Washington University) who will be stepping down in 2023. The new editor will be working alongside Edmund Birch (Cambridge University) and Larry Duffy (University of Kent). Editors of Dix-Neuf are appointed members of the executive committee of the Society of Dix-Neuviémistes, which meets (now usually remotely) at least twice a year.

The successful candidate will be jointly responsible for editorial oversight and decision-making on submissions, using the Dix-Neuf Editorial Manager site. They will have authority to accept articles following peer review and will ensure that reviewers, authors, and Editorial Board members adhere to the journal’s Code of Publishing Ethics. Dix-Neuf also publishes at least one annual themed issue, often with a guest editor, who the candidate would work closely with. For a list of special issues, please visit: https://www.tandfonline.com/journals/ydix20/special-issues

Becoming the Editor of a journal is a rewarding and fulfilling experience where you will build your own networks, promote the research that you are passionate about, and be recognised as a leading figure within the research community.
