The Book Reviews Editor of IJNA is responsible, in consultation with the IJNA editor, of commissioning reviews for the journal (contact publishers, pick books and reviewers and arrange for access to material, whether in print or digital). As Book Reviews Editor, you will then also receive, edit and proof the submitted reviews.
Reviews average ca.3 pages in length (1.5 line spacing). We have an existing guide on how to review a book that can be sent to reviewers.
There are currently 6-7 reviews per issue (12-14 per year).
The role entails organisation, attention to detail, knowledge of maritime archaeology and related fields as defined in the journal’s aims and scope, and experience with journal editing. Being already closely tied to the NAS network and the nautical archaeology community in general will be beneficial.
Expected hours: 8-12 hours per month (2-3 hours per week)
Start date: 1st January 2026. One month transition period with current Book Reviews Editor.
Payment: £2,000 per annum honorarium, plus £400 expenses per annum.
Deadline: 31st October 2025
