Ceræ: An Australasian Journal of Medieval and Early Modern Studies 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 – from drafting calls for papers, accepting article submissions, being a part of the review process, copyediting, through to publicity, fundraising, and other back-end operations – skills that will make you more competitive in the academic job market. It will also give you the opportunity to make a difference and work with a passionate and dedicated team.
Ceræ’s Editorial Committee rotates each volume and there are currently openings for new committee members for Volume 13 in the following roles:
- Editor
- Deputy Editor(s)
- Deputy Reviews Editor
- Social Media Manager
- Fundraising Officer
- General Committee Members
We are especially searching for members of the editorial team, as well as a person to fill the social media manager role.
A commitment of 15 months is expected from new committee members (12 months in their role + 3 months of handover/training), with the role commencing following the Ceræ AGM.
For more information on specific roles, please email ceraejournal@gmail.com by 10 NOVEMBER 2025, with a brief description of yourself, your current research, and anything which might support your application. Please include your previous relevant experience and skills.
Ceræ also encourages early career researchers as well as more established scholars who would like to join our extensive peer-review network to contact the journal at ceraejournal@gmail.com.
