Apply to Be an Global History Blog Editor-At-Large!
The Toynbee Prize Foundation (TPF) invites applications for Editors-at-Large for its Global History Blog. Through its website, TPF promotes both long-form interviews and articles on the field of global history produced by TPF's Executive Director as well as shorter-form material that is nonetheless of interest to audiences interested in developments in the field: job postings, cross-postings of material from blogs, and recently-published articles in the field. Working with staff from the Toynbee Foundation and George Mason's Center for History and New Media, Editors-at-Large will nominate pre-curated content for posting on the Toynbee Foundation's website via the Foundation's WordPress PressForward plug-in. Content nominated by the Editors-at-Large will then be forwarded to TPF Editors, who will write the introduction / commentary on selected pieces. Candidates who distinguish themselves may receive the opportunity to write commentary themselves or, eventually, to produce their own in-depth content for the website.
This is an excellent opportunity for graduate students wishing to gain more exposure to one of the most vibrant fields in the discipline today, but undergraduates with a strong interest in history are also welcome to apply. Professors teaching courses in global history who wish to involve their students in the field by nominating them to serve as Editors-at-Large at Large are also welcome to apply. Applicants are invited to use the form at the Editors-at-Large page of the Foundation's website to apply, sending in (a) a 300-word biography, (b) a 300-word statement of motivation, and (c) a link to a post that they think would be of interest to TPF's readership. Applications will be assessed on a rolling basis, but successful candidates will be able to start immediately. Questions about the position can be addressed to toynbeefoundation@gmail.com.
