Position at Computer Music Journal
26. januar 2005 20.30.24 MET
[Apologies for cross-postings.]
Computer Music Journal invites applications for the position of
editor of news and announcements. The position entails an
average of 3-6 hours per week or less, and has no geographical
limitations. Detailed requirements are listed below.
Computer Music Journal, a scholarly quarterly from MIT Press, has
been published continuously since 1977. It appears both in print
and electronically (see http://mitpress.mit.edu/cmj).
This is a volunteer position: there is no financial compensation, but
the appointee will gain experience in publishing, and will be able to
participate in the "cutting edge" of the computer music field. The
appointee will be listed by name on the inside front cover of each
issue on which he or she works, and on the Journal's Web site. The
appointee will be invited, but not required, to attend the CMJ
editors' annual summit meeting in the USA.
The first year of the position will be treated as an internship,
unless the appointee is exceptionally well qualified and has
already achieved widespread recognition for his or her career
in computer music. In that case, the appointee's title will be
Editorial Consultant; otherwise, it will initially be Editorial
Intern.
Applicants should demonstrate both eagerness for success as an editor
and a commitment to computer music. Interests might include
composition, performance, engineering, or research topics in the
field. Superb English writing skills are essential. A solid
knowledge of the computer music field will be invaluable in
ascertaining the priority of potential news items, as well as in
editing the chosen items. Members of underrepresented groups, such
as women, are encouraged to apply, as are all other qualified
applicants.
The current editor of news and announcements, Richard Zvonar, has
resigned from the position, owing to serious illness and competing
demands on his time. We wish him well and sincerely thank him for
his contributions to ten issues of Computer Music Journal.
Your application should include:
(1) a brief letter explaining your interest and qualifications.
(2) a curriculum vitae, including education, editorial, or clerical
work experience, and any publications.
(3) names, phone numbers, addresses, and email addresses of
references.
(4) one or more short samples of your writing on any topic
(a computer music topic is helpful but not necessary, and the
samples need not be published).
(5) the date when you can start, preferably as soon as possible
and in any case no later than March 1, 2005.
Review of applications will continue until the position is filled.
Applications accepted by email; send to cmj@mitpress.mit.edu.
Hard-copy applications accepted; send to: Editor, Computer Music
Journal, 2550 9th Street #207 B, Berkeley, CA 94710, USA. (Materials
will not be returned.)
For questions, please contact the Editor at cmj@mitpress.mit.edu.
(Responses will be sent from doug@musclefish.com.)
