The Editorial Board of Architectural Histories seeks to appoint a Reviews Editor for publications and other research-based outputs covering the history of architecture and the built environment before 1800.
The Reviews Editor is responsible for commissioning, developing and editing reviews. Architectural Histories aims to publish reviews which respond to the latest releases in the field and to widen the traditional scope of reviews, to include recent exhibitions and conferences relevant to histories of architecture.
The ideal candidate is well connected with scholars working on all aspects of pre-1800 architecture, and closely monitors the state of the field, with an eye to commissioning reviews that will stand out as lasting contributions to historical and historiographical debate. The Editor should be familiar with good practice in the commissioning and editing of reviews.
This call is open to all scholars working on topics related to pre-1800 architectural history regardless of background, discipline or seniority. Applications from scholars working outside the traditional centers of scholarship are strongly encouraged.

The deadline for applications is 31 August 2017.
