Geotechnical Engineering: Call for Early Career Board
Geotechnical Engineering is pleased to announce the creation of an Early Career Reviewer Board.
About the journal
Geotechnical Engineering (GEEN) is the official journal of The British Geotechnical Association. It provides a forum for the publication of high-quality, topical and relevant technical papers covering all aspects of geotechnical research, design, construction and performance.
The journal aims to be of interest to those civil, structural or geotechnical engineering practitioners wishing to develop a greater understanding of the influence of geotechnics on the built environment.
The role of the Early Career Reviewer
GEEN decided to develop an Early Career Reviewer Board (ECRB) to give Early Career Researchers the means to participate within a journal publishing environment and to be involved in developing the journal for the community along with the Editor, Associate Editors and Editorial Board Members.
Selected applicants will be appointed to the ECRB for 2 years, after which there may be the opportunity to be appointed to the Editorial Board in consultation with the Editor-in-Chief. Each successful member will be expected to review 3 to 4 new papers per year. Guidance will be provided for the journal’s submission system, ReView.
Applications
Please email the Commissioning Editor ([email protected]) with a statement (no more than 400 words) on why you would like to work on GEEN and what you can bring to the journal, along with a copy of a two-page CV. Please use 'GEEN ECRB' in your subject line.
Please do also include the following in your application:
- Mention of your primary areas of research and/or professional expertise
- LinkedIn account (if applicable)
- Google Scholar (if applicable)
- ORCID ID
Early Career Researchers are those who have up to five years since they earned their doctoral degree (excluding career breaks).
Recruitment for the Early Career Reviewer Board is now closed. We may reopen applications in the future, so please check back for updates.
