Colleagues,

 

Kindly note the announcement below for a grad student to become Managing
Editor of the Journal of Information Policy, and share with other
interested parties.  Thank you.

 

Richard Taylor

Co-Editor-in-Chief

Journal of Information Policy (http://jip-online.org) 

 

 

The Institute for Information Policy at the College of Communications at
Penn State is seeking an incoming graduate student to be assigned to a
special assistantship program in which he or she will serve as managing
editor of the Journal of Information Policy.  The position will require
attending to duties over the summer as well, and will include a summer
stipend.  Interested prospective applicants should identify themselves and
their qualifications.  The position requires strong English language
skills.  Candidates with an interest in information policy (including, but
not limited to issues such as privacy, copyright, access, media law, First
Amendment, technology, etc.) are preferred, but an otherwise strong
candidate who is highly motivated can be trained.  The position involves
receiving manuscripts, finding and following up with reviewers in a timely
way, careful editing and support for the publication process, and
assisting with promotional activities for the Journal.  It is a great
opportunity to become familiar with current research and scholarship in
the field, as well as with many of the leading academics who write and/or
review for the Journal.
