Cerae is looking for new committee members for Volume 12!
Ceræ is an open-access, award-winning, peer-reviewed journal directed by a committee of international graduate students and early career researchers. We are united in our commitment to open access publishing, the innovative possibilities of the digital humanities, and to forging a strong community of medieval and early modern scholars.
Volunteering for Ceræ provides invaluable experience in operating a journal, including drafting calls for papers; participating in the publication process from initial article reviews, to copy-editing, to publicity; fundraising; and other back-end operations, such as chairing committee meetings. Ceræ also organises an annual virtual conference, and all the tasks associated with it are handled by committee members, including preparation; administration; scheduling; and chairing panels. Not only does this work make you more competitive in the job market, it allows you to help make academia more accessible.
A commitment to serving on the Ceræ committee is 15 months (one volume year with three overlapping months for handover), and has an averaged weekly time commitment of 1-5 hours, depending on the role and time of year.
Ceræ currently has openings for several new office holders for Volume 12:
- Deputy Editor(s)
- Deputy Book Reviews Editor
- Social Media Manager
- Fundraising Officer
The deadline for expressions of interest has been extended to 25 October 2024. Please email ceraejournal@gmail.com to nominate yourself for an office-holder position, or to express interest in joining as a general committee member. Please nominate the role(s) for which you would like to be considered. To support your nomination, please provide personal details including your completed and/or in-progress academic qualifications, your academic affiliation (if any), and any relevant experience and/or skills.
Ceræ also encourages both early career researchers and more established scholars to join our extensive peer-review network. Please contact the journal at the same email address if you are interested.
