We encourage academics from all backgrounds to apply for these positions and a description of what we are looking for can be found below ⬇️

Senior Editor - targeted at an established scholar: Candidates need to have a significant number of peer-reviewed publications and be scholars of considerable standing within the field of Sports History.

Junior Editor - targeted at Early Career Scholars. Candidates must possess a PhD in History, Sports Studies, or a related field, have experience of peer reviewing and have authored several peer-reviewed articles and/or a book in the field.

The journal are especially looking for at least one editor (from the above) to have expertise in sports history from outside of the British Isles and would be particularly open to editors with a diverse range of specialisations, interests or areas of expertise. In both instances, we are looking for editors who are reliable, have a passion for editing, and give consistent attention to detail in written work.

Applicants should submit a condensed CV (max. 2 pages) and a short cover letter (max. 1page) explaining why they feel suitable for the role. The deadline is the 30th November 2025.
