Call for Applications: Law & Practice of International Courts and Tribunals - Book Review Editor (Deadline: 15 February 2025)

The Law & Practice of International Courts and Tribunals (LPICT) invites applications for the position of Book Review Editor. 

LPICT has a flourishing book review section as part of its regular offering of high-level scholarly articles.  We are particularly interested in getting more non-Western scholarly work reviewed in the journal. To that end, we are looking for a Book Review Editor who has:

• at least 3 years of post- PhD experience (or equivalent);

• previous editorial experience; and

• an interest or experience in international legal scholarship with a focus on Africa. 

Women and non-Western scholars are particularly encouraged to apply.

The new Book Review Editor will be asked to evaluate incoming book reviews, to identify recently published titles suitable for review and to approach suitable reviewers.  The Book Review Editor will work closely with the co-Editors-in-Chief (Prof. Freya Baetens and Prof. Chester Brown SC) and the other Book Review Editors (Ms. Ashwita Ambast and Prof. Vladyslav Lanovoy).

The new Book Review Editor will be asked to make a commitment for a term of 3 years (renewable). The position is unpaid.

Vacancy now open! Please note that the deadline is 15 February 2025

Interested candidates are kindly invited to send a motivation letter, CV and list of publications to the co-Editors-in-Chief (freya.baetens@law.ox.ac.uk and chester.brown@sydney.edu.au) with ‘LPICT Book Review Editor Application’ as the email subject. 

Applicants will be notified of the outcome of the selection process in early March 2025.  Shortlisted candidates may be invited for an online interview, and the appointed Book Review Editor will be expected to start in mid-March 2025.
