The Professional Geographer |
Editor Sought for The Professional Geographer The Association of American Geographers seeks applications and nominations for Editor of The Professional Geographer. The new Editor will be appointed for a four-year editorial term that will commence on January 1, 2011. The appointment will be made in spring 2010. The Professional Geographer is a forum for timely debates on geography’s contribution to contemporary issues in the environment, in society, and the interplay between them. The Editor for this journal will solicit, review, and accept for publication articles, comments, research notes, and other items appropriate for publication in The Professional Geographer, within publication-space limitations that will be determined annually. The AAG Council expects that the new Editor will accept manuscripts from across the breadth and depth of intellectual activity in contemporary American geography. The Editor should be eager to act as an intellectual entrepreneur to attract the very best work being produced. In support of these goals, each Editor candidate should possess a distinguished record of scholarly achievement, a broad perspective on the discipline of geography, respect and affection for its diversity, and an ability to work constructively with authors during the review process. Institutional support for the new Editor (especially some time released from teaching) is quite desirable, but not mandatory. The AAG will provide a modest stipend to be used for expenses and honorarium at the Editor's discretion. The Editor will work in coordination with the Managing Editor, located at the Meridian Place AAG office in Washington, DC. The Managing Editor bears primary responsibility for the logistics of processing manuscripts and book reviews, and for assembling and coordinating the publication of each issue of the journal in collaboration with the journal’s publisher. A letter of application that addresses both qualifications and a vision for The Professional Geographer should be accompanied by a complete curriculum vitae. Nominations should be submitted no later than January 1, 2010, and applications no later than February 1, 2010. Send applications or letters of nomination to: Chair, AAG Publications Committee, 1710 Sixteenth Street NW, Washington, DC 20009-3198. Nominations and applications may also be submitted electronically to profgeog@aag.org.
