NONPROFIT MANAGEMENT AND LEADERSHIP
Editor Search
The Mandel Center for Nonprofit Organizations at Case Western Reserve
University seeks an editor for its journal, Nonprofit Management and
Leadership. Now entering its 19th year of publication, NML is committed
both to academic excellence and to advancing creative interaction between
rigorous research and engaged practice.
The new editor, who will have earned significant distinction in the field
of nonprofit management and leadership, will lead NML as it responds to
rapid changes in its field and seeks to raise its profile among
researchers and practitioners. The editor must hold a Ph.D. in a relevant
academic discipline, have extensive experience in evaluating and working
with research manuscripts and their authors, be able to work effectively
with journal staff and editorial board, and manage journal operations
efficiently.
The editorship of NML is a renewable three-year, part-time appointment of
the Mandel Center. The editor might be based at an academic or, possibly,
research institution anywhere in the U.S. or abroad. The editorial offices
of Nonprofit Management and Leadership are located in the Mandel Center’s
building on the campus of Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland,
Ohio; the publisher, under a contract with the Mandel Center, is Jossey-
Bass/Wiley. The editor reports to the Executive Director of the Mandel
Center, and works closely with the Managing Editor in the editorial
offices, with the journal’s Editorial Board and its advisory groups, and
with the Mandel Center’s faculty. Subject to final agreement, the Mandel
Center expects that the editor will spend at least a few days at CWRU each
year, both for NML editorial meetings and to engage with the Mandel
Center’s faculty and students.
The Mandel Center will provide the editor an appropriate stipend, to be
determined, as well as essential expenses—and, as noted above, will
continue to provide NML’s primary editorial offices and the highly
experienced Managing Editor.
