Remote / Work from Home
Ecological Management & Restoration (EMR) is a peer-reviewed Australasian journal committed to forging two-way links between researchers and environmental managers to promote more ecologically based, practicable approaches to the conservation and sustainable management of Indigenous ecosystems. EMR articles draw on international science and practice to contribute to the increasing global knowledge on natural area management, particularly the challenge of integrating biodiversity conservation into physically and socially diverse landscapes in a rapidly changing world.
The Editor-in-Chief (EiC) of EMR, together with the Executive, sets the journal’s editorial strategy (including journal policy, content guidelines and adherence) and is responsible for implementing the journal's editorial policies. The EiC serves as the chief ambassador for EMR through personal outreach and attendance at meetings and conferences, both face-to-face and electronically.
The EiC will serve an initial five-year term, assuming full responsibility as EiC of EMR in January 2022. At the discretion of the ESA Board, the EiC’s contract may be renewed beyond the initial term.
A transition period will begin in September 2021, so the incoming EiC can work with ESA staff and the current Editor to learn about the journal, its processes and workflows. The ESA offers an annual honorarium of AUD$15,000 for this position.
The ESA encourages individuals with diverse and global backgrounds to apply for this position. Candidates will be assessed on their track record in academic publishing, leadership experience, overall strength of their CV, specific knowledge of ecological applications, their connectivity to the ecological applications community, their available time commitment, and their vision for the journal.
