    The Journal of Management Studies is seeking Associate Editors to join the editorial team of Caroline Gatrell, Corinne Post, Christopher Wickert, Paolo Aversa, Mirko Benischke, Brian Boyd, Beatrice D'Ippolito, Serge da Motta Veiga, Johann Fortwengel, Hannes Leroy, Kristina Potočnik, Shameen Prashantham, Garima Sharma, and Yuliya Snihur.

    The Journal of Management Studies was established in 1963 as one of the first general management journals. It publishes innovative, novel, and high-quality papers that advance theoretical and empirical knowledge in the area of management. It is one of the leading management journals in the world; it has been part of the FT50 journal list since 2011, has a 2022 Impact Factor of 10.5 and an ISI Ranking of 15/157 (Business) and 16/227 (Management).

    Essential qualities sought from candidates include the following:

    • Significant scholarly contributions in any area of management studies. It is expected that applicants will identify a primary area of expertise, however given JMS' "big tent" ethos to offer a scholarly home for any area of management studies broadly understood we expect candidates to be flexible: able and willing to handle manuscripts across topics and domains that could extend beyond their primary area.
    • Extensive and recognized experience as a reviewer for management journals and, preferably, editorial experience.
    • Demonstrated administrative skills, capacity to handle a demanding workload and to meet deadlines.
    • Ability to work constructively with authors, reviewers, and the editorial team.
    • Willingness to contribute to the success of the journal through attendance at editorial meetings and representing the journal at events and institutions.
    • Methodological expertise in quantitative and/or qualitative methods.

    Strong candidates with expertise in any area of management studies will be considered. We are particularly keen to consider candidates with expertise in and a quantitative approach to the study of corporate governance, corporate social responsibility, diversity, equity & inclusion, human resource management, international business, organizational behaviour, strategy, technology & digitalization (listed alphabetically). We are also keen to consider candidates with expertise in and a qualitative approach to the study of work-life and of the professions.
