Politics and Religion<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Call for Proposals for New Editor<\/b><\/p>\n

The Religion and Politics Section of the American Political Science Association invites applications from individuals for the editorship of <\/span>Politics and Religion (P&R)<\/span><\/i>\u00a0for a 1 year term starting in January 1, 2026.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Interested applicants for editor should be senior scholars. Applicants are expected to have records of significant research accomplishment in the subfield of Religion and Politics, intellectual breadth and depth, an entrepreneurial approach to attracting and soliciting quality manuscripts, authors, and reviewers, and excellent administrative, organizational, and interpersonal skills.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Information for Candidates<\/b><\/p>\n

Politics and Religion<\/span><\/i> is the flagship journal for the subfield of religion and politics. It is published by Cambridge University Press and is now open access. As a result, both the number of submissions and the scrutiny required to evaluate them have increased. On average, the journal receives approximately 150-175 submissions per year, and this number continues to grow. Serving as editor therefore demands substantial time, intellectual effort, and management skills. At the same time, editorship provides an opportunity to shape the journal\u2019s intellectual direction and influence the field of religion and politics. Given the open-access model, the rising volume of submissions, challenges in securing reviewers, and the evolving landscape of peer-reviewed publishing with the widespread availability of AI tools, the current editors have graciously agreed to invite a third editor to join them.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The P&R editor reports to the Executive Committee of the Religion and Politics Section of APSA and to the Publishing Editor at Cambridge University Press. The editor will appoint book review editors and journal editorial board members in consultation with the section\u2019s executive committee. The editor is required to provide at least one written report per year on the state of the journal, in addition to frequent informal consultation with the section and CUP. Cambridge University Press provides a stipend to the editors each year.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

To Apply<\/b><\/p>\n

Candidates should e-mail a single PDF that includes a full curriculum vita, and a letter of intent or proposal that discusses vision and goals for the journal. The proposal should include experiences directly relevant to the position of editor; plans for management, and organization of the journal\u2019s workflow; and statements of support from the host university(ies).<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Applications that can demonstrate managerial support from host institutions will be preferred. Such support may include graduate assistantship funding, direct financial contributions, or institutional arrangements that provide editors with dedicated time for their duties.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Applications should be sent to the search committee at <\/span>apsa.religion.politics@gmail.com<\/span><\/a> and must be received no later than 5:00 p.m. EST November 15 2025. All applicants will receive e-mail confirmation. If you have questions about the editorial responsibilities and the journal’s workflow, please contact the current Editors, Andrew Lewis (<\/span>Andrew.Lewis@uc.edu<\/span><\/a>) or Sultan Tepe (<\/span>sultant@uic.edu<\/span><\/a>).<\/span><\/p>\n
