Current Issue

The Nordic Journal of Migration Research (NJMR) is seeking to replace one of its Editors-in-Chief. The journal is a double-anonymous, peer-reviewed, international open access journal that is cost free for authors and readers alike. The journal publishes theoretical and empirical analyses of migratory processes, dealing with themes such as nationalism and transnationalism, ethnic relations and racism, border practices and belonging. NJMR aims to promote and advance the circulation of the multidisciplinary study of ethnic relations and international migration that is conducted in the Nordic countries. While priority is given to Nordic issues, NJMR also publishes articles from other geographical contexts. The journal publishes articles in English.

NJMR is a non-profit journal owned by Nordic Migration Research (NMR) and the Society for the Study of Ethnic Relations and International Migration (ETMU) and published by Helsinki University Press (HUP), see Nordic Journal of Migration Research (journal-njmr.org)

We are looking to appoint a new Editor-in-Chief to replace Lena Näre (University of Helsinki) who is leaving the team in January 2023.

The new Editor-in-Chief will be working closely with the current editors-in-chief Dalia Abdelhady (Lund University) and Nahikari Irastorza (Malmö University) and the Managing Editor of NJMR as well as the representative of our publisher Helsinki University Press. The new Editor-in-Chief will be supported by the journal’s editorial team and Managing Editor.

We are looking for a migration scholar with an interest in developing the journal and with previous editorial experience, incl. editing, reviewing, and publishing in peer-reviewed, international journals in the field of migration studies. Prior knowledge of using electronic submission platforms is an advantage, but not a requirement. As the Editor-in-Chief you will be responsible for assessing the quality of new manuscripts, liaising with authors, overseeing the review process, commenting on manuscripts, and collaborating closely with the Managing Editor and the Editorial team, the representatives of Helsinki University Press and Nordic Migration Research. The position is not remunerated.

If you are interested in the position, please send a short motivation letter of 1-2 pages and your cv (including list of publications) to chair of Nordic Migration Research (NMR) Miika Tervonen (miika.tervonen@migrationinstitute.fi) and to the chair of ETMU Johanna Ennser-Kananen (johanna.f.ennser-kananen@jyu.fi) by October 31st, 2022.
