EuCML journal: call for a new editor

EuCML is growing and looking for a new member of its editorial team – to join the articles’ editors.

EuCML (Journal of European Consumer and Market Law) has grown from strength to strength. The journal is now a well known fixture in the consumer and market law landscape, attracting high quality pieces and established authors from all over Europe. We receive a high volume of contributions.

EuCML is a flat structure journal. The editors attend regular Skype Meetings to prepare new issues. The current editors are split in teams corresponding with the section of the journal and all handle pieces and contact with authors. We are looking for an academic to join us (with a specialisation in data protection – broadly understood). The new editor would join the articles’ team and help us handle the new articles coming in. The process includes:

-    Receiving articles, contact with authors,
-    Identification of potential reviewers, contacting reviewers, management of review process (ensuring reviewers stick to deadlines), feedback to authors
-    Checking new versions of articles and use of reviewers’ comments
-    Advice on use of OSCOLA (our referencing system) to authors
-    Editing pieces (all in English)

To apply, please send a CV and covering letter to Christine.riefa@brunel.ac.uk by 30 September 2020. The EuCML editors will interview in the first week of November. The position is open and will start immediately upon appointment (unless otherwise agreed with the successful candidate). All editors are unpaid for their work.

The EuCML editors.
Christoph Busch, Alberto De Franceschi, Mateja Durovic, Joasia Luzak, Vanessa Mak, Jorge Morais Carvalho, Kristin Nemeth, Rupprecht Podszun, Christine Riefa.
