*** Sorry for crosspostings. M.O. ***
Promotion & Education, the International Journal of Health Promotion
and Education, is an official publication of the International Union
for Health Promotion and Education (IUHPE). It is a multilingual
journal, which publishes authoritative peer-reviewed articles and
practical information for a world-wide audience of professionals
interested in health promotion and health education. The content of
the journal reflects three of the strategic priorities of the IUHPE,
namely, advancing knowledge, advocacy and networking.
Promotion & Education is pleased to announce its search for an Editor
in Chief. Formerly, the Journal has operated under a number of
editorial infrastructures, most recently a tripartite editorship with
an editor for each section. Due to the decision of the Journal's
Editorial Advisory Board and the IUHPE Board of Trustees to
consolidate editorship under an Editor in Chief, the Journal is
accepting expressions of interest in the position.
Given the global nature of the Journal's reach and the unique mandate
of the Journal, the successful candidate will have good familiarity
of the IUHPE and a history of participation in activities of the
organisation. A detailed list of duties and responsibilities of the
Editor in Chief is enclosed. The position is unremunerated, but has
the support of the Managing Editor for all technical details
associated with production of the journal. The position offers an
extraordinary opportunity to an experienced professional to
participate in the ongoing development and improvement of an
international journal, Promotion & Education; exchange with a network
of professionals in the field on a global level; and become more
involved with the IUHPE, an organisation that continues to be at the
forefront of global issues in health promotion and education.
Promotion & Education is a trilingual publication (English, French,
Spanish being the three official languages of the IUHPE) with a
quarterly circulation of 4,000 copies. Promotion & Education reaches
members in more than 90 countries; it is also sent to over 200
library subscribers. Each issue is read by average of three readers,
providing an estimated regular readership of approximately 12,000
readers, consisting predominantly of professionals engaged in health
promotion and health education related activities at the local,
regional, national and international levels, and working in academia,
government or non-profit organisations. The Journal is overseen by
an Editorial Advisory Board composed of international experts in the
areas of health promotion, health education and public health.
