The Society for Research in Child Development is conducting an international search for the Editor of Child Development to succeed Cynthia García Coll, whose editorship will end with the 2020 volume. Child Development is consistently among the most highly ranked journals in the field. The search committee is interested in an Editor with innovative ideas, vision, and leadership who will continue to expand the journal's high impact and visibility. Important qualifications for a new Editor include breadth of knowledge of the multiple disciplines represented in the Society, interest in diverse, integrative and state-of-the-art methodological approaches, knowledge of developmental science and childhoods around the world, appreciation for the importance of diversity in the populations that are studied and in the field of developmental science itself, a significant record of publications, willingness to take risks to include interesting new work and to engage initiatives related to open science and replication, and ideas about the future course of the journal and the field. The search committee is especially interested in candidates who will enhance the journal's contributions to the pursuit of key elements of SRCD's strategic goals<https://www.srcd.org/about-us/strategic-plan/strategic-goals> relating to the advancement of cutting edge developmental science, the contributions of interdisciplinary and international perspectives, cultural and contextual diversity, and the centrality of research for practice, policy, and public understanding.

Child Development Editors are encouraged to develop and implement their vision for the journal and guide the journal in innovative ways. Prior editorial and/or managerial experience is essential. The editorship requires a substantial time commitment, has a term of six years, and includes an honorarium. The appointee will become Incoming Editor on July 1, 2019; the new Editor's first volume of Child Development will publish in 2021.


Nominations (including self-nominations), along with a brief description of qualifications of the nominated person and the person's CV, should be sent to Jeffrey J. Lockman, Chair of the Search Committee, lockman at tulane.edu<mailto:lockman at tulane.edu> by November 26, 2018.
