About the role

Routledge are seeking to appoint a new Editor, or pair of Co-Editors, of Feminist Modernist Studies. This opportunity would suit scholars with a strong research background in feminism and modernism, and who also have the commitment, drive, and ability to help develop a burgeoning young journal.

Using the FMS Editorial Manager site, the successful candidate(s) will be responsible for editorial oversight, the administration of rigorous peer review, and decision-making on submissions. They will deliver an agreed amount of content of suitable scope and quality within an agreed publication timeframe, and they will ensure that reviewers, authors, and Editorial Board members adhere to the standards for publication ethics.

Routledge will provide training on systems and processes used as well as remuneration for the role to cover any journal-related expenses. Routledge will also be able to supply annual reports reflecting on the performance of the journal to support ongoing development.
