Dear ERM members,
I hope each of you are doing well. I’ve been back at work for the past two weeks—it’s been a bumpy re-entry as I have adjusted to life after sabbatical as well as a number of additional work responsibilities. Honestly, it feels more like a month than just two weeks since I last sent out our ERM announcements.
I’ve also be grappling with the realities that many of you are facing about rising COVID numbers, decisions about teaching modalities, student needs, and the lack of childcare. I am sending commiseration and a virtual hug.
On Monday, my university is observing the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday, which is the only federal holiday designated as a national day of service. This day is not only to honor the legacy of King but also to focus on the issues of civil rights and continued racism, highlights the use of nonviolence to promote change, and is a call for people to engage in public service. As you think about this day, I encourage you to not only take a pause from work but also to consider how you might serve or educate yourself about King’s legacy or anti-racism. I’ll be reading some books about King from our local library with my toddler and donating to The King Center. I’d love to hear if you are doing anything in particular as well!
All my best,
Allison

CALL FOR JEE ASSOCIATE EDITORS
The Journal of Engineering Education (JEE), which serves to cultivate, disseminate, and archive scholarly research in engineering education, is currently accepting applications for one or more volunteer Associate Editors. Associate Editors are an integral part of the JEE Editorial Board and ensure the quality and timeliness of published material. Associate Editors serve 3-year terms that may be renewed.
An Associate Editor’s primary responsibilities are (1) reading manuscripts submitted to JEE, (2) recruiting and selecting reviewers to review the manuscripts, (3) synthesizing reviewers’ comments and feedback, (4) integrating that feedback with their own evaluative and constructive report reflecting the strengths and weaknesses of the manuscript, and (5) making a recommendation to the JEE Editor. Other duties include attending quarterly (virtual) meetings of the JEE Editorial Board, selecting the annual Wickenden award winner, and completing various tasks related to maintaining the quality and relevance of JEE such as special issues and guest editorials. Generally, an Associate Editor will be assigned 12-16 manuscripts annually, and the duties of the position require approximately 8 – 12 hours per month.
To qualify for the position, an Associate Editor must have an earned doctoral degree, be an active researcher in engineering education or a related field, and have experience publishing in the field of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education research. Preferred qualifications include previous experience as a peer reviewer of a scholarly journal, publication experience in peer-reviewed journals, and rank at the associate professor (or equivalent) level. In particular, Associate Editors with expertise in diversity, equity and inclusion, quantitative methods, are sought, but all areas will be considered. If interested, please submit a cover letter, CV and list of references to Lisa Benson, JEE Editor (as of July 1) via email to Teri Garrett (terig@clemson.edu) by February 28, 2022. In your cover letter, please describe why you wish to serve as a JEE Associate Editor and the special skills and abilities you could contribute in this role (e.g., research methods, content knowledge, work experience), especially as they pertain to responsibilities and qualifications for the position.
CALL FOR JEE ASSISTANT EDITORS
The Journal of Engineering Education (JEE), which serves to cultivate, disseminate, and archive scholarly research in engineering education, is introducing a new position on the Editorial Board: Assistant Editor. This position was created to increase the diversity of voices contributing to the scholarship published in JEE and to provide opportunities for non-tenure-track and pre-tenure faculty in the editorial process.
Similar to an academic ranking of Assistant Professor, the Assistant Editor position is appropriate for early career scholars who want to gain experience in the editorial and review processes at JEE. We are currently accepting applications for one or more Assistant Editors. Like Associate Editors and Senior Associate Editors, Assistant Editors are an integral part of the JEE Editorial Board and ensure the quality and timeliness of published material. Assistant Editors serve 12-month terms that may be renewed.
An Assistant Editor’s primary responsibilities are (1) reading manuscripts submitted to JEE that are assigned to them by the Editor or a Deputy Editor, (2) recruiting and selecting reviewers to review the manuscripts, (3) synthesizing reviewers’ comments and feedback, (4) integrating that feedback with their own evaluative and constructive report reflecting the strengths and weaknesses of the manuscript, and (5) making a recommendation to the JEE Editor or Deputy Editor. Other duties include attending quarterly (virtual) meetings of the JEE Editorial Board, helping to select the annual Wickenden award winner, and completing various tasks related to maintaining the quality and relevance of JEE such as special issues and guest editorials. Typically, an Assistant Editor will be assigned six manuscripts within a 12-month period, and the duties of the position will require approximately four to six hours per month.
To qualify for the position, an Assistant Editor must have an earned doctoral degree, be an active researcher in engineering education or a related field, and have experience reviewing in the field of discipline-based education research. Preferred qualifications include previous experience as a peer reviewer of a scholarly journal and rank at the assistant professor (or equivalent) level. In particular, Assistant Editors with expertise in diversity, equity and inclusion are sought, but all areas will be considered. If interested, please submit a cover letter, CV and list of references to Lisa Benson, JEE Editor, via email to Teri Garrett (terig@clemson.edu) by February 28, 2022. In your cover letter, please describe why you wish to serve as a JEE Assistant Editor and the special skills and abilities you could contribute in this role (e.g., research methods, content knowledge, work experience), especially as they pertain to responsibilities and qualifications for the position.
