Studies in Ethnicity and Nationalism (SEN) is a fully peer-reviewed journal, published by Wiley-Blackwell on behalf of the Association of Studies in Ethnicity and Nationalism (ASEN). SEN publishes three issues per year on the themes of ethnicity, nationalism and identity, and encourages innovative submissions from a broad range of disciplines and regions with particular attention to up-and-coming scholars, postdoctoral fellows and graduate students working in the field.
SEN is currently looking for two new book reviews editors to join our book reviews team. Your responsibilities will include the soliciting, organizing and editing of book reviews and general office support.
Applicants should have excellent time management skills (including the ability to work to deadlines and respond to e-mails on a timely basis) and a commitment to the themes of the journal. A background in academic writing and research is desirable but we are also happy to consider those with non-academic backgrounds. Applicants must be able to commit at least two years when assuming the position. Applications from PhD students that reside in London and can easily reach our premises at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) are particularly welcome.
These positions are unpaid but represent an invaluable opportunity for PhD candidates and anyone looking to have a career in publishing or journalism or who is simply interested in learning more about the interdisciplinary field of nationalism and ethnicity. Typically, these positions do not require more than 4-5 hours per week although this may vary somewhat depending on the stage in the publication cycle.
For further information on the role, please email our Book Review Editor Filippo Menga at filippo.menga@manchester.ac.uk. To apply, please email a letter of interest and your CV to the Editors: Dina Mansour-Ille (dmansour@aucegypt.edu) or Anastasia Voronkova (a.voronkova@lse.ac.uk) by 31 March 2016.

ARE YOU INTERESTED IN GAINING EDITORIAL EXPERIENCE IN AN ACADEMIC JOURNAL?

DO YOU WANT TO MAKE USE OF YOUR TIME ON SOCIAL MEDIA?

apply to join the Editorial Board of Studies in Ethnicity and Nationalism (SEN) as Social Media Editor.

Studies in Ethnicity and Nationalism (SEN) is a fully refereed journal publishing three issues per volume on ethnicity, race and nationalism. The sources and nature of ethnic identity, minority rights, migration and identity politics remain central and recurring themes of the modern world. The journal approaches the complexity of these questions from a contemporary perspective. The journal’s sole purpose is to showcase exceptional articles from up-and-coming scholars across the world, as well as concerned professionals and practitioners in government, law, NGOs and media, making it one of the first journals to provide an interdisciplinary forum for established and younger scholars alike. The journal is strictly non-partisan and does not subscribe to any particular viewpoints or perspective. All articles are fully peer-reviewed by scholars who are specialists in their respective fields.

The Social Media Editor is expected to help promote SEN on social media networks, including Facebook and Twitter. Since this is an unpaid volunteer position, the successful candidate is expected to work at their own time convenience while being in regular contact with the Editors-in-Chief of the journal. The expected workload is between 2-5 hours per week. The academic and media experience gained out of this position has the potential to boost your resume, especially if you are interested in pursuing a career in academia and/or the media. The ideal candidate is a student in the social sciences either at the Masters or PhD level (though highly qualified and ambitious Bachelor students will not be excluded) and interested in issues related to ethnicity, the politics of conflict, identity and nationalism. Area specialization is open.

For more information and/or to apply for this position, please send a cover letter and CV to the Editors-in Chief:

Dr. Dina Mansour-Ille (dmansour@aucegypt.edu) Dr. Anastasia Voronkova (A.Voronkova@lse.ac.uk)
