Call for New Associate Board Members: Sociological Research Online

Sociological Research Online is an electronic journal that publishes high quality applied sociology, focusing on theoretical, empirical and methodological discussions which engage with current political, cultural and intellectual topics and debates. It is now entering its 17th year of publication and has established its place as a major archival sociological journal. The journal is now seeking additional members for its Associate Editorial Board: please bring this notice to the attention of possible candidates, particularly those working in the identified areas.

The duties of Associate Editorial Board members include reviewing submissions to the journal, both in areas of individual expertise and as a general reader. On average Board members can expect to be asked to review roughly one paper a month and are expected to do so within four weeks. In addition, Associate Board members may wish to apply to be on the Editorial Board after their service and would then be expected to contribute to the running of the journal by participating in meetings of the Editorial Board which are held by telephone conference two or three times a year.

Nominations of sociologists with expertise in the following areas will be especially welcome:

Candidates may be based in any geographical location provided that they have adequate access to the internet. All correspondence is conducted by email and over the internet. The journal is published in English and a good working knowledge of the language is required. Nominations of individuals at all career stages will be considered.
