SEARCH FOR EDITOR OF THE AMERICAN JOURNAL OF PHILOLOGY

The Editor is initially appointed for four years, with the possibility of extension. The new editor's term officially begins in January 2008 and will cover volumes 129-132, 2008-2011. AJP is published quarterly (March, June, September, December). As Editor Designate, however, the new editor will begin to receive submissions late in 2007 and help to prepare the issues for 2008 and beyond.

AJP is published by Johns Hopkins University Press (http://muse.jhu.edu/journals/american_journal_of_philology/). There is an editorial board and four associate editors (three, one each for Greek, Latin, and history, who select referees and adjudicate articles in consultation with the editor, and one book review editor, who selects books and reviewers in consultation with the editor and edits all book reviews). The new editor will decide on the composition of the board and the associate editors.

The editor of AJP has sole responsibility for editorial content, and he or she must acknowledge submissions and inform authors whether submissions have been accepted. In addition, the editor must work closely with the journals division of Johns Hopkins University Press, which typesets, produces and distributes each issue.

The editorship requires care, tact, good, judgment, fairness, and efficiency. Authors have a right to expect that their submissions will be evaluated fairly, courteously, and promptly, but securing appropriate referees is not always an easy task. Referees do not always agree, and the editor and associate editors must assess their evaluations. Most articles are significantly revised before final acceptance, and the editor frequently advises authors on matters of both substance and style. Many younger scholars submit work to AJP, and the editor often needs to provide them extra help. The work is therefore considerable, but the editor enjoys a corresponding influence and authority.

The editor prepares an annual report for the editorial board and hosts an annual breakfast for the board at the annual meeting of the APA. The editor also attends the annual lunch meeting for editors of classical journals at the APA annual meeting. The editor receives an editorial stipend, and there is a limited amount of financial support available from JHUP for such things as postage and copying. Short-listed candidates will be asked to determine what support their home institutions would be willing to provide to enable them to undertake this work (course release, office, editorial assistant, copying and postage, stationery, computer).

Potential candidates should submit a current CV and a statement detailing relevant experience to the chair of the search committee, Professor Barbara K. Gold, Department of Classics, Hamilton College, 198 College Hill Rd., Clinton, NY 13323 (bgold@hamilton.edu) no later than December 15, 2006 . The committee is also eager to receive suggestions for suitable candidates to invite to apply. The other members of the search committee are Helene Foley, Carole Newlands, Carl Rubino and Richard Talbert.
