KIVA:
The Journal of Southwestern Anthropology and History is the premier archaeology journal
of the American Southwest. Co-published by the Arizona Archaeological and
Historical Society, it was founded in 1935. This world-renowned journal is
currently accepting applications for a new Acquisitions Editor. Read on to see if you or a colleague
would be a good fit for this position, and help us spread the word among the
archaeology community.
About
the Position
The editor will spearhead the
publishing process by working with a book reviews editor and the Maney team.
Although the Society is based in Tucson, the editor will be an independent
contractor and may reside elsewhere. The editor will have a working
relationship with the Society’s Publications Committee and Board of Directors
through a contract covering three volume years. Responsibilities of the editor
will include maintaining the established high quality of the journal. External
advice and consultation are available through an Editorial Advisory board
appointed by the editor.
Editor Responsibilities
The editor accepts and solicits
manuscripts and coordinates the review, editing, and proofing of four issues
per volume year; each issue is about 120 printed pages. Specific duties include
Spanish abstract acquisition, maintaining communication with authors,
reviewers, the occasional guest editor, and the Publications Committee. An
online submission and refereeing site uses Editorial Manager Software to
facilitate article tracking and publication. Maney Publishing provides training
for both systems. The editor will coordinate with a guest editor for the
upcoming 100th Anniversary issue scheduled for 2016.
The ideal candidate has a
background in Southwest archaeology, history, ethnography, or related
discipline. Please visit http://www.az-arch-and-hist.org
