Editor of APA Monographs

The American Philological Association seeks to appoint an Editor for Monographs for a term of four years, to begin with the January 2011 meetings in San Antonio. The prospective Editor, who serves as a volunteer, should be a member in good standing of the Association, with a record of scholarly accomplishment and with some editorial experience. His/her task is to identify scholarly work of distinction and bring it to publication. The APA expects to continue its relationship with Oxford University Press (New York) for publication of such works in print form, but seeks an editor willing to explore alternate forms of publication for appropriate scholarly works. The incoming editor will also work with the Editor for Textbooks, the Web Editor, the Editor of TAPA, and the Vice President for Publications to improve distribution and publicity for APA publications. Candidates should submit, and nominees will be invited to submit, a current c.v. and a statement outlining the strengths and goals that the applicant would bring to the position. Applications and nominations may be submitted to the Vice President at provost@georgetown.edu. Consideration of candidates will begin on or after July 31, 2010 (note extended deadline).
