International Journal of Educational and Life Transitions

Professor Divya Jindal-Snape is stepping down as Editor-in-Chief of IJELT as of the beginning of December 2024. We would like to acknowledge her significant contribution since the journal was established in September 2021. Professor Jindal-Snape had the original idea of establishing an international, interdisciplinary peer reviewed journal focusing on educational and life transitions.  Since its inception, the journal has gone from strength to strength under her leadership. We are delighted that she will continue to support the journal as a member of the Editorial Board. Dr Elizabeth Hannah will assume the role of Editor-in-Chief. Dr Hannah has been one of two Deputy Editors since the journal was established.

We are now seeking expressions of interest for the role of Deputy Editor. We plan to appoint three Deputy Editors each with a specific remit.

1. Deputy Editor for ECRs-provide ongoing training and support to ECRs to take on peer review and editing roles, and publishing in IJELT.
2. Deputy Editor for communication- responsible for ongoing communication with Editorial Board members and peer reviewers, and promoting IJELT in various fora.
3. Deputy Editor for multi-media and creative submissions and Editorial Board meetings-responsible for promoting and publishing multi-media and creative submissions (such as animations, poetry, comics, expert interviews); and for organising and minuting Editorial Board meetings.

In terms of time commitment, it is anticipated that there will be regular meetings of the Editor-in-Chief and Deputy Editors every 4-6 weeks. Editorial Board meetings will be held twice per year (Spring and Autumn) with two meetings each day to accommodate different time zones. This is in addition to the time requirement to take forward specific aspects of the role as stipulated in the remit.

The advertisement for the Deputy Editor role can be found at this link. Deadline for submissions: 13^th January 2025.
