Princeton University +++++++++++++++++++++++++ Managing Editor Jewish Studies Quarterly Princeton University The Program in Judaic Studies at Princeton University invites applications for a position as Managing Editor of Jewish Studies Quarterly (JSQ). Edited by Joseph Dan (Hebrew University) and Peter Schäfer (Princeton University), JSQ publishes academic studies on all aspects of Jewish history and culture. The primary task of the Managing Editor will be to edit and proofread English scholarly prose, particularly for scholars for whom English is not a native language. Additional responsibilities include handling e-mail and mail correspondence with authors, prospective authors, and others; helping to shepherd accepted articles to publication; overseeing the work of 2-3 graduate student assistants; and coordinating editorial efforts with the staff at the journal’s publisher, Mohr Siebeck (Tübingen, Germany); as well as taking care of various technical tasks, such as the standardization of style in footnote referencing, integration of revisions, and conversion of electronic files between different word-processing formats. In addition, s/he will work closely with Prof. Schäfer and will have opportunities to solicit, select, and/or review submissions for the journal. The ideal candidate is a methodical, responsible, detail-oriented, and efficient individual with a Ph.D. or other advanced degree in Jewish Studies, History, English, or another field in the Humanities. Excellence in English grammar and style is necessary, as are strong proficiency with MS Word for Windows and familiarity with (or ability quickly to learn) other word-processing programs. Some background in Hebrew, Greek, and/or German is preferred but not requisite. The position is a half-time position with flexible hours. Remuneration will depend on the level of education and experience within the Grade 03 classification, and the position will be contracted for one year with the possibility of renewal, to begin on October 1, 2003 at the very latest. Applications will be accepted until the position is filled. Interested applicants should send a cover letter, curriculum vitae, a short writing sample on any topic, and the names of three references to: Prof. Peter Schäfer, Program in Judaic Studies, Princeton University, 58 Prospect Ave., Princeton, New Jersey, 08544.
