COLLEGIA is looking for two colleagues to join its Editorial Board in a voluntary capacity: one Associate Editor and one Managing Editor. Both appointments are for an initial term of three years, renewable if both parties wish to continue. The time involved is flexible and can be arranged around your other commitments.

Associate Editor

The Associate Editor looks after the peer review of manuscripts each year, with support from the Senior Editors. This includes:

• inviting suitable reviewers
• reading reviewer feedback and recommending a decision to the Senior Editors or Editor-in-Chief
• keeping manuscripts moving through review
• joining occasional editorial discussions on the journal's direction

We welcome applications from colleagues with a doctoral qualification and a publication record in higher education or a related field, some experience reviewing for scholarly journals, and interest or expertise in one or more of the journal's areas. Prior editorial experience is welcome but not required; the editorial team will help you get started.

Managing Editor

The Managing Editor keeps the journal running smoothly behind the scenes and is the main contact with OAPA. This includes:

• keeping track of manuscripts and corresponding with authors and reviewers
• helping schedule Online First and annual issue publication
• working with the OJS platform
• supporting the editors with day-to-day administration
• sharing calls for papers, new articles, and journal news on social media

We welcome applications from colleagues with good organisation, clear written communication, and some experience in academic publishing, journal administration, research support, or social media. This role could suit an early career researcher or doctoral candidate who would like hands-on publishing experience. Familiarity with OJS is helpful but not required.

How to Apply

Send a short note to the Editor-in-Chief, Associate Professor Harold Culala, at harold.culala@excelsia.edu.au. Please include:

1. a brief cover note (half a page is plenty) saying which position interests you and a little about your background
2. a current curriculum vitae

Appointees are asked to uphold the journal's standards of scholarly integrity, including declaring any conflicts of interest. The Editor-in-Chief reviews applications with the Senior Editors and may arrange an informal chat. Everyone who applies will hear back.
