call for editor applicants

[j.a.baxter at READING.AC.UK]

Dear Anita,

Thank you for this information and for clarifying the nature of the role. 
ALthough it would very much interest me, I have to give some thought to the 
institutional commitment, which might not be forthcoming from my 
university!

With thanks,

Judith
