Closing date: 31 March 2025
Longitudinal and Life Course Studies (LLCS), published by Bristol University Press, invites applications for the role of Associate Editor, Statistical Sciences and Methodology.
Associate Editors play a critical role in the editorial process, particularly in taking papers through the peer review process. Working with a Section Editor, they invite peer reviewers, correspond with authors and make decisions about which papers to include, revise, or reject. They also play an active role on the Editorial Management Board, which meets twice a year (once online and once in person at the SLLS conference). Most Associate Editors spend between 1-2 hours per week on journal activities, depending on submission flow. The standard term of an Associate Editor is three years.
