Wound Practice and Research

Expressions of Interest – Joint Editor, Wound Practice and Research

Expressions of interest are sought for the position of Joint Editor, Wound Practice and Research, the journal of the Australian Wound Management Association and the Australasian Wound and Tissue Repair Society.

For over 10 years the journal has had joint editors- one from a cellular and molecular research background, the other a clinician researcher. This allows coverage of the scope of the journal, and ensures seamless activity over periods of leave. The clinician researcher Editor position is open to EOIs, with the current Editor intending to stand down after over 11 years in this position.

The new Editor will have a strong record of publications and ideally experience with journal editorial responsibilities, including membership of editorial boards. The position requires regular accessing of emails and the internet to ensure prompt processing of submitted articles including assigning reviewers and progressing articles through the review process. The Editor will promote the journal at all opportunities, and attract high quality articles to the journal. There is regular, almost daily, communication with the other Joint Editor, and with the publisher of the journal. The Editor chairs quarterly meetings, usually by teleconference, of the Editorial Board and in conjunction with the other Joint Editor ensures the membership of that Board reflects the best interests of the journal.

There is modest remuneration for this role, but most of the work is performed “pro bono”.

EOIs should be emailed to [email protected] with a covering letter, and a brief (no more than 3 page) CV, before 01/12/15.
