I am forwarding the following announcement as a director of Imago Mundi Ltd., on the editor’s behalf.
The Editor of Imago Mundi, the international journal of the history of cartography, is seeking a map historian with the appropriate editing skills to take responsibility for articles dealing with maps made and used since c.1750. Imago Mundi is the only international journal published in English that covers the full chronological and spatial range of mapmaking and map use. Its articles are peer reviewed to a high standard, and other features of the journal (bibliographies of recent literature, book reviews, thesis abstracts) ensure that it is a journal of first resort for researchers in map history. Imago Mundi publishes eight to ten full length (normally 5–6000 words) articles and four to six shorter articles (2–3000 words) per year in two issues. Of these, usually a quarter (two to four, very occasionally more) cover subjects in the modern period, which will be the responsibility of the new academic editor. This position offers an opportunity for a candidate to broaden his/her professional horizons and to participate in bringing new and important research to a worldwide community.
The successful candidate will perform the following duties:
The modern period editor will be listed as a member of the Editorial Board. The appointment carries with it an honorarium of £300 per article.
