Editor, Economics
New York, NY
Interested in economics? Do you want to help shape the academic discussion in the field while simultaneously delivering a commercially successful book programme? Would you like to be the next person in the line of editors stretching from the publisher of Marshall’s Principles of Economics in 1881, through that of Keynes’ General Theory, to the team who are currently signing the very top names of today, and, perhaps, become the first to publish the work of a future Nobel winner?
Palgrave Macmillan has been a leading publisher in economics for more than a century and a half; now, as an imprint of Springer Nature, we are part of the world’s largest and most innovative publisher of scholarly books. We’re looking for a new economics editor who can channel our heritage and blend it with our cutting edge publishing models and tools in order to forge the future of our list.
We’re interested not only in what you already are – but also in what you can become. So, while it would be wonderful if you have a post-graduate qualification in economics, have worked in scholarly publishing for several years delivering double-digit growth, and have the numbers of half a dozen Nobel winners in your phone, what we really want is someone who has: a genuine interest in the topic, a bright and curious mind, the ability to learn fast, a terrier-like tenacity in tracking down and bringing in great books, the smarts to balance academic interest and commercial pragmatism, and the calmness under pressure needed to cope with the challenging and ever-changing world of scholarly publishing. If that sounds like you, let's talk.
You will be part of a friendly and dedicated team and play an important role in the success of Palgrave Macmillan.
The responsibilities include:
