The journal Solar Physics, published by Spinger Science+Business Media, solicits applications to fill two positions as Editor from candidates with strong research credentials, proven ability to exercise scientific and professional judgement, and diligence in respecting deadlines. Candidates from all areas of solar physics research are encouraged to apply, while priority for one of the positions will go to candidates with expertise in heliospheric research. The mission statement of the journal is as follows: “All aspects of solar physics are reported on. Coverage ranges from the internal structure of the Sun and its evolution to the outer corona and solar wind in interplanetary space. Solar Physics publishes articles on solar-terrestrial physics and on stellar research as well, where they contribute directly to our understanding of the Sun.”

The two new Editors will join continuing Editors John Leibacher and Lidia van Driel-Gesztelyi with shared responsibility for the solicitation, review, disposition, and production of accepted manuscripts.

Please send a CV and a brief statement of interest and qualifications, along with the names of three potential references. We will start considering applications on 20 November 2015, with the goal of filling the positions by 1 January 2016, but the search will remain open until both positions are filled. Please feel free to contact any of us to discuss this exciting and rewarding opportunity.
