Routledge/ECPR Studies in European Political Science

Position: Editor of the Studies in European Political Science book
series, published by Routledge (Taylor & Francis) in association with
the ECPR.

Current editor: Thomas Poguntke (Ruhr-Universität Bochum)

The Routledge/ECPR Studies in European Political Science publishes
edited volumes which have originated from ECPR activities: this applies
mainly to book projects that emerge from ECPR Joint Sessions of
Workshops and, to a smaller degree, from sections organized at ECPR
General Conferences.

The series editor is the principal contact for all academics who
consider publishing such a volume. In the first instance, this requires
his or her presence at the annual Joint Sessions of Workshops and,
ideally, also at the biennial General Conference where the editor should
be available to meet prospective book editors and discuss their projects.

The series editor deals with all academic matters related with the
series including an initial evaluation of the viability of a book
proposal, the selection of reviewers, subsequent discussions with the
book editors and, on the basis of the reviews, the decision about the
inclusion of a book into the series. He or she receives very strong
logistical support from the publishers who organize all technical
matters including the contacting of reviews.

The series editor should be an established academic who is prepared to
invest considerable energy in the running of the Series.

Appointment: 1st April 2009 - 1st April 2012, renewable for a further
three years subject to the approval of the ECPR's Publications Board.

The successful applicant will receive an annual editorial fee and a fund
to cover travel expenses incurred in attending meetings related to the
journal.


ECPR Monographs & Classics

Posiiton: Co-editor of the ECPR's Monographs and Classics book series,
published by the ECPR's own publishing imprint, ECPR Press.

Co-editors: Alan Ware (University of Oxford) and Vincent
Hoffmann-Martinot (Sciences Po Bordeaux)
Continuing editor: Vincent Hoffmann-Martinot

Established in 2005, the ECPR Press operates a small academic press from
the ECPR's Central Services at the University of Essex. Since the launch
of the first two book series (Monographs and Classics) in 2005 around 18
books have been published, with roughly equal numbers in each series.

With respect to the Monographs Series the role of the co-editors is:
1) To use their contacts in the political science and international
relations communities to discover potentially suitable manuscripts for
the series. The co-editors are expected to be pro-active in this regard.
Included in this work is consultation with senior colleagues about the
possibility of including in the series translations of important works
recently published in other languages.
2) To evaluate the academic quality of such manuscripts and those
unsolicited manuscripts that have also been submitted to the Press. In
doing this the co-editors may use as referees either members of the
editorial board or other suitably qualified academics; but the
co-editors are expected to organize this aspect of the process.
3) To advise authors of manuscripts accepted for publication as to
improvements and changes that should be made for the finally submitted
version to the Press. The co-editors are responsible for final approval
for any manuscript.
4) To serve as chair of the panel of judges for the ECPR thesis prize
during the first three years following appointment as co-editor,
identifying potential candidates for the series from those theses
submitted; it is expected that the prize-winning thesis will, as a
matter of course, normally be published as a book in the series.
5) To consult and liaise with the production manager on all aspects of
the production, distribution and marketing arrangements of the series.
6) To attend meetings twice a year with the production manager.
7) Between them, to attend ECPR Joint Sessions of Workshops, General and
Graduate Conferences to meet potential authors and to publicize the series.

With respect to the Classics series, conditions 5-8 also apply, but in
addition the co-editors also recommend for inclusion in the Series
important works that are currently out of print, and discuss with the
production manager negotiations for obtaining the publishing rights to
such books.

Appointment: 1st April 2009 - 1st April 2012, renewable for a further
three years subject to the approval of the ECPR's Publications Board.

The successful applicant will receive an annual editorial fee and a fund
to cover travel expenses incurred in attending meetings related to the
journal.


EJPR - Political Data Yearbook

Position: Co-editor of the European Journal of Political Research's
Political Data Yearbook (PDY), published at the end of each volume as a
double-length issue, published by Wiley-Blackwell on behalf of the ECPR.

Current editors: Ingrid van Biezen (University of Birmingham) and Tim
Bale (University of Sussex)
Continuing editor: Tim Bale

The European Journal of Political Research is one of the most important
activities of the ECPR, and its flagship publication. It currently
comprises seven issues a year, of which one is the double issue
Political Data Yearbook.

The Political Data Yearbook reports data concerning cabinet composition
and election and referendum results, and provides a narrative and
interpretation of the principal political issues and events within each
of the EU member states, including the countries scheduled to join the
EU in 2004, Norway, Switzerland, the United States, Canada, Australia,
New Zealand, and Japan. It will be expanding to include the 2007
candidate members of the EU. The PDY aims to be both a reliable archive
of hard data and a tool for scholars who want to keep abreast of
political events in the countries covered.

The work of the two editors involves the following:
assuring that the manuscript is within the page budget and delivered to
the publisher by the production deadline;
assuring that each entry is accurate, in clear and grammatical English,
and includes all of the required elements;
working with the authors to resolve any ambiguities or inconsistencies
in the reports;
writing the editors' introduction to each volume, highlighting common
trends and important issues.

Appointment: 1st August 2009 - 1st August 2012, renewable for a further
three years subject to the approval of the ECPR's Publications Board.

The successful applicant will receive an annual editorial fee and a fund
to cover travel expenses incurred in attending meetings related to the
journal.
