The American Classical League invites applications for the position of Editor of The Classical Outlook, one of the most widely circulated Classics journals in North America. The Editor is responsible for the evaluation of materials for publication, with the assistance of an editorial board, and for the production and mailing (via mailing service) of four quarterly issues per annum. The position is not salaried, but a generous travel budget is provided to cover costs of attending the ACL's annual Institute each June as well as a mid-year Executive Committee meeting and other professional meetings. The Editor's home institution (generally a college or university) is expected to provide released time, office space, and/or clerical assistance at a level sufficient to produce high quality camera-ready copy for printing. ACL can cover other expenses in the form of a grant to the host institution. Dossiers, including letter of application, curriculum vitae, and evidence of achievement in scholarship, teaching, and professional service, as well as editorial experience, should be e-mailed by 1 December 2014 to Editor Search Committee of the American Classical League (info@aclclassics.org). Inquiries may be directed to the committee at that same e-mail address. Candidates will be interviewed via conference call from or in person at the 2015 meeting of the Society for Classical Studies, 8-11 January in New Orleans, LA. Appointment will be announced in Spring 2015 and confirmed by the ACL Council at its June 2015 meeting. The new Editor will be responsible for publication of the journal commencing with the Summer 2015 issue, following an orientation by the current Editor.
