Physical Review Physics Education Research is looking for a new part-time Associate Editor

Physical Review Physics Education Research (PRPER) is looking for a new part-time Associate Editor with international scientific standing to join our editorial team consisting of the Chief Editor, other Associate Editors, Managing Editor, and Editorial Board. The new Associate Editor will become part of the stimulating academic endeavor to bring high-quality papers to our readership.

The journal publishes important developments in the rapidly evolving areas of PER and relies on a mixture of staff and part-time academic editors. The primary responsibility of the Associate Editor is to manage the peer review process of assigned manuscripts by determining whether to send a manuscript out for external review, choosing appropriate reviewers, and making decisions on rejection or acceptance. In addition, the Associate Editor is expected to work collaboratively with the Editorial team, strengthen and expand existing ties between the journal and the research community, and to raise the journal’s overall visibility. Applications from qualified candidates working in all areas of PER will be considered.

We receive submissions continuously throughout the year, and editors are required to work on their assignments on a regular basis; arrangements can usually be made for extended absences upon timely prior notice. Workload may vary depending on subject area and fluctuations in submissions, but is typically no more than about 20 hours per month. Editors are appointed as consultants, and receive a stipend based on the number of manuscripts they are expected to handle.

Part-time Associate Editors are expected to maintain their current position while serving as editors for PRPER. Candidates should be able to regularly and consistently dedicate time to their assignments and should possess the following qualifications: (1) Current active involvement and stature in the relevant field of research. (2) An outstanding record as a referee and a demonstrated commitment to peer review. (3) The ability to work within the editorial team and the desire to maintain the quality and reputation of the journal.

Interested applicants should write to edsearch@aps.org with a cover letter, a current CV, and a one-page summary outlining the applicant’s philosophy regarding peer review, and their views on the aims and future direction of PRPER as they see it. The deadline to apply is February 15, 2025.
