Nominations are now being accepted for the next editor of the Journal of Social Issues (JSI). Given JSI's thematic nature and the need to assemble an entire issue at one time, the Editor-elect will have approximately 2 years to solicit manuscripts.

As such, it is a key outlet for the scholarly work of SPSSI members and contributes greatly to the Society's well-being. The editor will need scientific, editorial, interpersonal, and organizational abilities. He or she will advise potential issue editors on the development of issues and will have proposals as well as full manuscripts reviewed. The Editor will also work with JSI's publisher, Blackwell, to ensure the timely publication of issues, attend SPSSI Council meetings, and prepare various editorial reports.
