Applicants can be at any stage of career but must have:
· a good understanding of the nature, aims and scope of the journal;
· a PhD in – or closely related to – the sociology of education;
· an affiliation to a university or an established research organisation;
· published at least three peer-reviewed articles, at least one of which should be in BJSE or a journal with similar scope and standing;
· experience as a peer reviewer.
The executive editors are particularly keen to receive applications from sociologists of education who identify as being from minoritized or marginalised communities, those whose expertise includes advanced quantitative methods, and those whose interests and expertise encompass familiarity with educational issues, institutions and systems across the world. Editorial board appointments are unpaid. Members are listed on the journal’s webpages. Most editorial board members review around six items per year. Appointments are open-ended and continue indefinitely by mutual agreement. However, they can be brought to a close at any time, either by (a) the individual editorial board member standing down, or (b) as a result of a majority decision at a formally-constituted meeting of the executive editors. Please send a letter of application as an email attachment to Rachel Brooks (r.brooks@surrey.ac.uk) by 5pm (UK time) on Tuesday, 2nd January 2024. The letter should be no more than 500 words and should state how you meet the criteria, and any particular areas of expertise you have that you feel would benefit the journal (such as particular research methods; phases or types of educational activity; topics, issues or debates; perspectives or theories; countries, continents, systems). Letters may contain a link to a professional profile web-page, but no further attachments are required.
