non-discriminatory standards in hiring policy. In particular we urge
that employers do not discriminate on the grounds of race, ethnicity,
nationality, age, religion, gender, or sexual orientation. However, we
have no means of enforcing these standards.

Job seekers should pay special attention to language in ads regarding
employment requirements and are encouraged to consult our international

Description:

Journal of Child Language, published by Cambridge University Press, was 
launched in 1974 by Professor David Crystal. Since then it has established 
itself as a leading international journal publishing original research on all 
aspects of the scientific study of language behaviour in children. The journal 
has successfully forged links between many different areas of research 
including psychology, linguistics, cognitive science and anthropology. This 
interdisciplinary approach spans a wide range of interests: phonology, 
phonetics, morphology, syntax, vocabulary, semantics, pragmatics, 
sociolinguistics, or any other recognised facet of language study. In addition 
to articles, the journal contains a Brief Research Reports section and an 
occasional section containing a review article plus commentaries by a range 
of other researchers.

Professors Philip Dale and Edith Bavin will be stepping down as editors over 
the course of 2011. In order to ensure a smooth transition, we are now 
inviting applications from those interested in taking on the editorship of the 
journal from any time after 1st January 2011 (exact start date open to 
negotiation), for an initial term of five years. The new Editor(s) will
'shadow' Edith and Philip from autumn 2010 so they might familiarise
themselves with the working practices. All submissions are handled using
the online peer-review system ScholarOne Manuscripts. The Editors are
supported by an experienced Editorial Assistant and a team of six Associate
Editors 
(http://journals.cambridge.org/action/displayMoreInfo?jid=JCL&type=eb). 
Financial support in the form of an annual stipend will be available from 
Cambridge University Press.

Attention to detail, excellent people skills and the ability to meet deadlines 
are essential. We are open to applications from individuals or editorial 
partnerships (based in North America, the UK or elsewhere).

Interested applicants are invited to send a brief CV and covering letter to 
Cambridge University Press at the email addresses below. Covering letters 
should outline how the applicant(s) would approach the editorship, including:
-  thoughts on the future content and strategic direction of Journal of Child 
Language, development of the journal's international profile and aims and 
scope
-  the day to day running of the journal editorial office
-  any institutional support available, including financial support and time 
allowed for journal work
-  details of any prior journals experience

The total document should comprise no more than five pages.
