The Journal of Management Studies is seeking a General Editor and an Associate Editor to join the editorial team of Andrew Delios, Joep Cornelissen, Allen Amason, Andrew Corbett, Bill Harley, Davide Ravasi and André Spicer. The successful candidates will replace Steven W Floyd and Laszlo Tihanyi. The term of office is three years, from 1st January 2011 in the first instance, with an option for a further three. The posts carry a generous honorarium and all necessary travel expenses will be covered.
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.
Specific qualities sought from candidates include the following:
- Significant scholarly contributions in any area of management studies. Currently it would be helpful if this included one or more of the following areas of expertise - strategic management, international business and corporate governance.

- Extensive experience as a reviewer for management journals
- Demonstrated administrative skills, capacity to handle a demanding workload and to meet deadlines.
