Psychology of Aesthetics, Creativity, and the Arts (PACA), the official publication of APA’s Division 10 (Society for the Psychology of Aesthetics, Creativity, and the Arts), is seeking applicants to fill several Associate Editor vacancies.
Our Journal is devoted to promoting scholarship on the psychology of the production and appreciation of the arts and all aspects of aesthetic and creative endeavor. To that end, we publish manuscripts presenting original empirical research and papers that synthesize and evaluate extant research that relates to the psychology of aesthetics, creativity, and the arts.
Associate Editors are expected to handle approximately 30-40 manuscripts per year for PACA, in the process making decision recommendations to Editors Thalia R. Goldstein and Oshin Vartanian. Appointments for the Associate Editor role are for the duration of 2 years (in this case from August 2022 through 30 June 2024). During their years of service, Associate Editors receive an annual stipend for their service, as well as a complimentary electronic subscription to PACA. The Journal will also do its best to accommodate the demands on their time when possible.
Being an Associate Editor represents an important service to our field, not only in terms of ensuring the quality of the review process, but also in mentoring young professionals. Your nomination as an Associate Editor also recognizes your conscientiousness, skill, and expertise in the field.

Please note that the application deadline for this vacancy is July 1, 2022. International candidates and candidates for whom English is not the first language are especially encouraged to apply.
