Apply to be a Deputy Editor
The International Journal of Technology Assessment in Healthcare is currently recruiting another Deputy Editor. Please feel free to share this with any colleagues who may be interested.
The International Journal of Technology Assessment in Health Care (IJTAHC) is published by Cambridge University Press and is the journal of Health Technology Assessment International (HTAi). We are calling for an additional Deputy Editor to enhance the current team. Suitable candidates with considerable experience in HTA and evidence-based medicine with a strong publication record and excellent English writing skills are invited to apply. Additional expertise in some of the following areas would also be useful: qualitative health research, patient/citizen involvement or health policy. If your experience is in the area of health economics, we are not just seeking someone with technical training in modelling but also those with specific expertise in normative and policy aspects of priority setting and decision-making. Additionally, areas such as equity and ethics would be of interest too.
In your application, please highlight your connection to/knowledge of HTA and experience in publishing, as well as in an editorial role.
In this role you would be expected to manage up to 20 articles per year. You will support the Associate Editors and assist, where needed, in finding reviewers. You will be required to make recommendations to the Editor in Chief. The role requires very regular activity on the journal website to facilitate a timely review process, which is essential for attracting authors to publish with us. The estimated time required (on average) is in the order of 4 to 5 hours per week. This is a voluntary role and thus there is no remuneration, however there is recognition as an editor and you will be a member of the Editorial Board.
If you are interested, please submit a short application letter outlining the experience detailed above, along with a brief CV showing your publication record and any reviewer or editorial experience.
Please submit applications to the Editor-in-Chief of IJTAHC, Wendy Babidge (eic.ijtahc@cambridge.org)
