Description:
The Algonquian Studies Association is looking for a new co-editor for
Papers of the Algonquian Conference (PAC). Monica Macaulay will be
leaving her position as co-editor after more than ten years of
service. The remaining co-editors Inge Genee and Natalie Weber are
looking for one or two energetic individuals to strengthen the team.
This is currently an unpaid position for an initial term of three
years to begin as soon as possible.
PAC has been the flagship venue for the dissemination of original
scholarship in Algonquian Studies for more than half a century.
Currently published by Michigan State University Press, it publishes
peer reviewed papers from the Algonquian Conference held annually in
October.
We work collaboratively on all aspects of the publishing process.
There is no editor-in-chief.
Tasks Include:
 - Call for papers: Distribute at annual conference and email out to
presenters
 - Peer review process: Secure peer reviewers, send out papers and
guidelines to reviewers, receive reviewers’ reports, make editorial
decisions
 - Revision process: Communicate editorial decisions to authors, work
with them on revisions, assess revised submissions
 - Copy-editing and page proofing process: Work with the copyeditors
at the Press and the authors to create clean texts and final page
layout
Workload:
 - Currently on average 2-4 hours/week, with busier and quieter times
 - Zoom meetings approximately once a month, more frequently in busier
times
 - Submissions are divided equally between the co-editors. Depending
on the number of submissions each co-editor currently handles
approximately 4-5 papers per volume.
What We Offer:
 - A collaborative, supportive team
 - On-the-job training for new editorial team members
 - An opportunity to help guide PAC through a significant period of
change
 - A chance to work with the board of the new Algonquian Studies
Association to help lead the direction of the field
Requirements:
We are looking for one or two energetic individuals with the following
characteristics:
 - Considerable knowledge of and experience in the field of Algonquian
Studies
 - Experience with research dissemination processes, preferably from
both sides, i.e. as author and as editor / editorial board member
 - Commitment to regular meetings and editorial work for a term of
three years (renewable)
 - Interest in and willingness to contribute to realignment of the
relationship between PAC, the annual Algonquian Conference, and the
new Algonquian Studies Association
 - Interest in and willingness to contribute to ongoing decolonization
work
 - Familiarity with and commitment to issues around Indigenous data
sovereignty and ethics
 - Strong organizational skills; ability to manage projects and adhere
to timeliness
 - Strong communication and interpersonal skills; ability to
collaboratively work with others
More Information:
If you have questions or need more information, please contact Inge
Genee (inge.genee at uleth.ca) and/or Natalie Weber
(natalie.weber at yale.edu.), PAC co-editors.
Expressions of Interest:
Send an email outlining your interest and qualifications with your CV
to: Antti Arppe (arppe at ualberta.ca), Secretary-Treasurer of the
Algonquian Studies Association with the subject line: "PAC co-editor".
Deadline: September 15 (position open until filled)
We welcome new co-editors with backgrounds in any field, although we
are particularly interested in building expertise in fields other than
linguistics to complement the existing expertise among the current
editorial team members. Members of Algonquian communities are
especially encouraged to apply.
