Join the editorial team for the upcoming edition of the ESJP this fall! As an editor, you will review and refine philosophical texts by fellow students, working together in small teams and providing feedback over three rounds of editing. Editors also have the opportunity to become lead editors and guide a team through the editing process.
Alongside new editors, we are also looking for a Secretary. This role is combined with the position of editor. As secretary, you will ensure the smooth administrative functioning of the editorial team. You will maintain contact with authors, reviewers, and faculty, plan meetings, and keep track of the progress of the editorial process.
ESJP offers:
- Training in editing and philosophical writing.
- A community of engaged students.
- Opportunities to contribute ideas and take on leadership roles.
- The chance to read, edit, and learn from quality student papers in both analytical and continental philosophy.
Tasks and expectations for the Secretary:
- Drafting and sending calls (e.g., call for papers, invitations to reviewers).
- Managing the general ESJP mailbox and forwarding questions to the appropriate editors.
- Planning editorial meetings and keeping minutes and action points.
- Supporting the editor-in-chief in the preparation of publication.
- Availability throughout the academic year to ensure continuity.
Interested?
You can apply by sending a short motivation letter and your CV to esjp@esphil.eur.nl by October 6th. Please indicate clearly whether you are applying as Editor or as Editor & Secretary.
Proficiency in Dutch is a plus, but not a requirement. Open to all ESPhil students with relevant philosophy experience.
The Erasmus Student Journal of Philosophy (ESJP) is a double-blind peer-reviewed student journal that publishes the best philosophical papers written by students from Erasmus School of Philosophy and the Humanities Program of Erasmus University College. The journal aims to enrich the philosophical environment in which Rotterdam’s philosophy students develop their thinking and bring their best work to the attention of a wider intellectual audience.
We are looking forward to hearing from you!
