CALL FOR EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST

Co-editor and Associate Editor positions for the International Journal for Academic Development

CO-EDITOR AND ASSOCIATE EDITOR OPPORTUNITIES

An exciting opportunity has arisen for 2 co-editor positions and/or 1–2 associate editor roles for the International Journal for Academic Development (IJAD). These vacancies have arisen because two of the current editorial team members are coming to the end of their terms. The appointments will be for four years (1 January 2027 until 31 December 2030). IJAD’s current co-editors, associate editors, and advisory board are listed here.

The co-editor roles involve collaborating with three other co-editors to offer strategic oversight over the journal. The associate editor/s will engage with a team of continuing associate editors to facilitate the review process for manuscripts submitted to the journal. The associate editor role offers an excellent introduction to scholarly publishing in academic development. Both roles provide an opportunity to influence the academic development research agenda and to expand linkages between one’s own region and the international academic development community. Both co-editor and associate editor roles involve working with tight deadlines, monthly (online) meetings and regular engagement with reviewers and the journal’s publisher to ensure quality and an efficient publication process.

ABOUT IJAD

The purpose of IJAD is to enable academic developers in higher education across the world to exchange ideas about practice and research, and to extend the theory of academic development, with the goal of improving the quality of higher education internationally.

IJAD is the premier international journal for academic development (a field also called educational, faculty, or staff development), as suggested by scholarly impact factors and Google rankings of education journals.

IJAD is sponsored by the International Consortium for Educational Development (ICED), and four issues are published annually through Taylor & Francis (www.tandfonline.com/ijad). The manuscript submission and review processes are managed through the ScholarOne online system.

As IJAD strives to be a truly international journal, we value diversity in all its forms and encourage all interested parties to apply.
