Cover Art: ALEPPO, SYRIA: December 23, 2013. In the Bab al-Nirab neighborhood of the city of Aleppo, a Woman is rescued from the rubble of her home after it was bombed by regime forces. As described by a Syrian American student who helped choose this photo: “She’s not dead, but she looks terriﬁ ed to death – almost petriﬁ ed. Her back is to the destruction. She’s made it in the sense that she’s still breathing… The picture captures that moment suspended in time when everything and nothing are moving at once; when there is deafeningly loud noise and deafening silence. You know relief efforts are continuing in the background, but you can’t take your eyes off of her.” (Photo by Jalal Almamo)

The American Political Science Association (APSA) seeks applications for the position of editor of one of its flagship journals, Perspectives on Politics. Established in 2002, Perspectives has quickly become one of the top journals in political science with a high impact factor and rising submissions and readership.

The editor is also responsible for convening and working with an Editorial Board of his/her choosing to help set the direction for the journal and establish major editorial policies. The term of this position is four years, with the possibility of a two-year extension.

In their proposal, interested candidates should prepare a vision statement; a brief description of proposed editor(s) qualifications; an explanation of proposed staff organization and responsibilities; and a description of the financial and technical support provided by the host institution.
