YiM Assistant Editor Position

The Year’s Work in Medievalism is seeking applications for the position of Assistant Editor. The selected individual will work alongside the current editors on future issues of the journal, undertaking administrative and editing tasks as needed and directed. While this is not a paid position, it is one that offers considerable insight into and experience with the operations of an academic journal. It is also an excellent opportunity for displaying service to the field.

Prior experience in the areas of editing and publishing is an asset, as is familiarity with MS software and the Chicago Manual of Style, though neither is required. Candidates for this position should have a strong interest in, and hopefully some prior experience with, researching the reception of medieval culture in post-medieval times. Experience in asynchronous collaboration, synthesizing reports, and providing constructive feedback on writing would all also be most welcome.

The average weekly workload for the position varies based on the publishing cycle. The appointment will be for a two-year period.

Please send a concise “letter of interest” and CV in PDF to Renée Ward (rward@lincoln.ac.uk) and Valerie Johnson (vjohnso6@montevallo.edu). The deadline for applications is April 25, 2025.
