Call for expressions of interest: We are seeking a Social Media Editor to join our editorial team.

Responsibilities for this position include:

- Running social media & website
- Circulating all publications
- Arranging & editing guest posts

environmentalpoliticsjournal.net/editorial-an...

Environmental Politics is an international, interdisciplinary, peer-reviewed journal spanning the fields of political science, political sociology, and political theory. The journal provides a forum for the publication of original research into, and discussion and analysis of, the diverse theoretical and empirical aspects of environmental politics. The journal’s 2024 Impact Factor is 5.9, ranking 4/322 in Political Science and 29/191 in Environmental Studies.

The journal is recruiting a Social Media Editor to manage its external communications. Responsibilities for this position include:

Managing social media accounts (currently Bluesky, X, Substack) and the journal website
Posting and circulating all journal and website publications
Arranging and editing guest posts and interviews with authors
We welcome expressions of interest from scholars of environmental politics from any higher education institution. We strongly encourage applications from early career individuals, including advanced PhD students and post-doctoral fellows, and we would specifically welcome applications from historically underrepresented groups and those whose intersectional identities and perspectives position them to support the editorial team’s commitment to an inclusive conception of environmental politics scholarship.

The journal’s Aims and Scope, and the current membership of the editorial team and Editorial Advisory Board, are available at: tandfonline.com/fenp

The Social Media Editor position comes with a modest stipend.

Please send expressions of interest (no more than 2 pages), along with a brief CV, to David Konisky, Editor-in-Chief, (dkonisky@iu.edu). Reviews will begin October 15, 2025, and applications will be considered until the position is filled.
