Call for Editor of Open Science (EOS) – EJPR

As a leading voice in the discipline, the European Journal of Political Research (EJPR) places open science at the heart of its bold new agenda under its recently appointed editorial team. To help drive this forward, we seek an Editor of Open Science (EOS) to join in April 2025.

This new role will be central to advancing EJPR’s efforts to strengthen scientific transparency and reproducibility, ensuring the journal continues to set the standard for excellence in political science.

This shift will make all content freely available to the global scholarly community, reinforcing EJPR’s mission to support rigorous, accessible research.
