The European Society of Paediatric Radiology and the publisher Springer are seeking applications and nominations for the position of the European Managing Editor for the journal Pediatric Radiology.

Pediatric Radiology is the official journal of the European Society of Paediatric Radiology (ESPR), the Society for Pediatric Radiology (SPR), the Asian and Oceanic Society for Pediatric Radiology (AOSPR) and the Sociedad Latinoamericana de Radiología Pediátrica (SLARP). The journal is the only journal dedicated exclusively to the subspecialty of pediatric radiology and a primary source of information to the international community of pediatric radiologists.

The journal receives submissions on all aspects of pediatric radiology from all over the world and publishes scientific articles and review articles on timely topics. The journal is under the leadership of two Managing Editors, one from Europe affiliated with the ESPR and one from America affiliated with the SPR. A close working relationship between the two Managing Editors is indispensable for the success of the journal. The European Managing Editor, working in consultation with Assistant Editors, is responsible for manuscripts submitted from Europe as well as other parts of the world with the exception of manuscripts originating from the Americas. The two Managing Editors account for the content of the journal. This includes acquiring, reviewing and collating manuscripts for publication in a timely manner as well as corresponding with the Editorial Board, reviewers and authors. In addition, the Managing Editors arrange special issues on topics of interest to the international community of pediatric radiologists. Furthermore, the Managing Editors appoint the Editorial Board. The Managing Editors adhere to standards of good editorial practice and the publisher’s code of conduct.

The European Managing Editor serves a 5-year term. The term of service for this position starts on October 1st, 2021 and expires on December 31th, 2026. The European Managing Editor will be compensated for time and effort devoted to the Journal.

The ideal candidate should have a vision of how to lead the journal and increase its impact in the international community, as well as the desire to continue a close working relationship with his/her American colleagues. The candidate should have a broad interest and experience in pediatric radiology and research, a commitment to leading this journal to a preeminent position in the specialty, and a clear idea of the pragmatic issues involved in accomplishing this mission. Successful applicants will have experience as an editor, associate editor or productive editorial board member of a peer-reviewed journal.

The new European Managing Editor will be appointed by Springer in consultation and agreement with the ESPR. The European Managing Editor is expected to work closely with the global publisher Springer on all aspects of publishing, to be an active member of the ESPR and to liaise with the ESPR leadership and the membership-at-large.

Each interested individual is invited to submit an application via e-mail. The application should include: a succinct letter of interest and qualifications, a vision statement and short curriculum vitae (maximum of 5 pages, font 12, single spaced, margin 2 cm).
