JAWRA Seeks Associate Editor, Forest Hydrology
JAWRA is looking for an Associate Editor for Forest Hydrology. This particular position would focus on evaluating articles about the interactions of forests and water resources. Many papers in this field have important implications for national and international policies.
JAWRA Associate Editors (AEs) serve as primary advisors to the JAWRA Editor. Responsibilities fall into two areas: reviews and subject development. The AE for Forest Hydrology handles 5 to 15 papers per year. All manuscripts are processed through our ScholarOne Manuscripts™system, with the AE selecting reviewers and, when reviews return, making a recommendation to the Editor. AE's are encouraged to seek out qualified authors in their subject areas and encourage them to submit papers to JAWRA. These could be individual submittals or as featured collections of related papers organized around an introduction.
Associate editorship is a volunteer position earning our heartfelt thanks and an invitation to our annual AE luncheon. It also offers the opportunity to make a difference on the cutting edge of multidisciplinary water resources. Many AE's have found the experience of making decisions on manuscripts helpful in sharpening their own professional writing skills. The term of an AE is three years, but may be extended by mutual agreement. Interested individuals should email their CV to the Editor at editor@awra.org. We are happy to answer any questions. We will hold this position open at a minimum until Friday, March 14, 2014.
