Best wishes,

Editor, Exchanges
Exchanges is a scholar-led, peer-reviewed, fully open-access journal dedicated to publishing high-quality interdisciplinary research. Founded in 2013, it is published by The Institute of Advanced Study, University of Warwick, UK. The title aims to provide a quality-assured venue for innovative research from emerging domain experts. It seeks to propagate intellectual exchange across research communities by providing a platform suitable for a cross-disciplinary readership. Exchanges increasingly attracts submissions from more senior researchers globally, but the journal remains committed to providing a supportive environment for first-time authors and editors to develop their writing and publishing skills.
The journal is currently working towards the production of the issue Navigating Precarity in Higher Education. As such, an exciting opportunity has arisen for several associate editors to join and assist in its production. This would likely entail a 9- to 12-month commitment of a maximum of three hours per week. Associate editors engage with a community of both emerging and seasoned scholars from multiple disciplines, gaining opportunities to enhance their international research networks and professional visibility. They also gain highly practical publishing and people-management experience.
Associate editors are sought from across the arts, humanities, social science and STEM communities with specific scholarly interest in the issue’s focus. No prior editorial experience is required, although some familiarity with the publishing process is desirable. Successful applicants will be provided with training, guidance and support throughout their work.
Expressions of Interest
Formal applications should be sent to Exchanges’ editor-in-chief (EIC) at exchangesjournal@warwick.ac.uk no later than 15 January 2027. They should include:
· A 150- to 200-word summary of interest, including any relevant experience
· An academic CV
Successful candidates will be required to attend a brief online training session. Exchanges reserves the right to close the call sooner if suitable applicants are found. All submissions will be handled in confidence under the University of Warwick’s best practice guidance for UK data protection legislation.
