Editorial Officer (Open Library of Humanities) (479) - Birkbeck, University of London

The post-holder’s main role will be to oversee the editorial processes at the academic journals published by the Open Library of Humanities (OLH). This will include the organisation of peer review for articles in the OLH Journal, as well as conducting copyediting and proofreading of articles in this journal. More broadly the role involves liaising with journal editors, authors, and peer reviewers and answering queries about editorial and production matters. The role will also require contact with external suppliers for typesetting and production services. 

The ideal candidate will be a highly productive and motivated individual. S/he will be expected to be an independent worker with problem-solving skills and a strong record of professional communications. Knowledge of universities, the humanities disciplines and scholarly publishing – especially around open access – would be an advantage.
