The Sixteenth Century Journal (SCJ) invites applications and nominations for the position of editor. This editor will replace Professor Raymond Waddington, who is stepping down after long years of service to the journal. The new editor will have primary responsibility for submissions to the SCJ in literature as well as in other fields of the individual’s expertise, and will work with Merry Wiesner-Hanks, David Whitford, Kathryn Brammall, Gary Gibbs, and other members of the SCJ staff. This is a three-year renewable position, and the new editor will assume full responsibility upon appointment in January 2012.
Qualifications include appointment at the rank of advanced associate or full professor, a significant record of scholarly publication, an ability to meet publication deadlines, an understanding of the scholarly communication process, and a broad knowledge of early modern literature.
In publication since 1969, the Sixteenth Century Journal prints twenty to twenty-five articles in a number of different fields and over four hundred book reviews a year. The SCJ is dedicated to providing readers with thought-provoking research and inquiry into the sixteenth century broadly defined (i.e., 1450-1648). Its articles are designed to appeal to an interdisciplinary audience; most focus on Europe, but an increasing number also examine other parts of the world.
Nominations and applications should be sent by 15 September 2011 to David Whitford at
. Letters of application should include a cover-letter, CV and the names of three references.
