Job Announcement for Graduate Student Editorial Assistant

International Labor and Working-Class History (ILWCH) is seeking a graduate student who can handle our on-line review submission system, ScholarOne, which is maintained by Cambridge University Press, our publisher. We are seeking an advanced graduate student in History or a related field who can input material in the system and monitor it on a weekly basis. Familiarity with the peer-review process of academic journals is a ‘must’. We anticipate that the job will initially be 10 hours a week, during which a data base of potential and past reviewers will be developed. Thereafter it will probably be gradually reduced as the system becomes more sustainable. The pay will be $20 per hour.

 

ILWCH  is a biannual refereed journal published by Cambridge University Press.  Now forty years old, ILWCH is the leading English-language journal of global labor history. ILWCH contributors and readers are in a range of disciplines and fields, including history, political science, sociology, labor and industrial relations, women’s and gender studies, global studies, Latin American studies, Asian, African studies, and other area/regional studies programs. The global readership has grown rapidly and our coverage is expanding to reflect the field of global labor history.

 

Interested applicants should send the following: a brief curriculum vitae that includes work in publishing, two letters of reference, and a copy of the application
