[ES_JOBS_NET] JA&WMA Seeks Editor-in-Chief

[Heather Simon]

After almost 10 years at the helm of the *Journal of the Air & Waste
Management Association (JA&WMA)*, Dr. S.T. Rao is retiring as Technical
Editor-in-Chief. *JA&WMA* is one of the oldest (since 1951) peer-reviewed
journals covering the fields of air quality and waste management. *JA&WMA*
seeks to be the leading technical communicator for applied and
policy-relevant science and technology topics focused on protecting the
environment and human health for air and waste management. During Dr. Rao’s
tenure, *JA&WMA* has increased its size, reputation, and international
profile by significantly increasing the journal’s Impact Factor; adding
Associate Editors spanning three continents; increasing special issues and
invited papers; expanding topic areas; and significantly reducing the time
between manuscript submittal and publication. Dr. Rao’s tireless dedication
to improving *JA&WMA* is greatly appreciated.



The Air & Waste Management Association (A&WMA) is seeking candidates for
Technical Editor-in-Chief to lead the journal to continued success. This is
a part-time contractual position with the individual operating out of their
permanent location. The position includes an honorarium and modest support
for clerical staff and expenses. Anticipated time commitment is 10-15 hours
per week. A complete job description, details of the application process,
and timeline are available online at* https://www.awma.org/eicsearch21
<https://www.awma.org/eicsearch21>*. Please contact A&WMA Managing Editor

Qualified candidates should send their applications to:



Journal Technical Editor-in-Chief Search Committee

E-mail: journalsearch at awma.org



Applications should include (1) a cover letter (3 pages maximum) describing
qualifications for the position, technical and managerial strengths, the

description of their vision for *JA&WMA*; (2) a resume indicating past
experience in preparing, reviewing, and editing scientific manuscripts; and
(3) names and contact information of three references familiar with the
candidate’s technical and managerial qualifications. In the cover letter,
the candidate should also indicate their willingness to either work alone

until a suitable applicant is found. A search committee comprised of
