Associate Editor Position (fulltime), Mathematical Reviews (Ann Arbor, MI)

AMERICAN MATHEMATICAL SOCIETY
MATHEMATICAL REVIEWS
ASSOCIATE EDITOR

http://www.ams.org/notices/200508/mr-assoc-ed-ad-new.pdf

Applications and recommendations are invited for a full-time position as
an Associate Editor of Mathematical Reviews (MR), to commence as soon as
possible after January 1, 2006, and no later than July 1, 2006.

The Mathematical Reviews division of the American Mathematical Society
(AMS) is located in Ann Arbor, Michigan, not far from the campus of the
University of Michigan. The editors are employees of the AMS; they also
enjoy many privileges at the University. At present, MR employs fourteen
mathematical editors and a further sixty nonmathematicians. MR's mission
is to develop and maintain the AMS databases covering the published
mathematical literature. The chief responsibility is the development and
maintenance of the MR Database, from which all MR-related products are
produced: MathSciNet, the journals Mathematical Reviews and Current
Mathematical Publications, and MathSciDisc. The responsibilities of an
Associate Editor fall primarily in the day-to-day operations of selecting
articles and books suitable for coverage, classifying these items,
determining the type of coverage, assigning those selected for review to
reviewers, and editing the reviews when they are returned.

An early career mathematician is sought who has mathematical breadth with
an interest in current developments and is willing to learn new topics in
pure and applied mathematics; the ability to write good English is
essential and the ability to read mathematics in major foreign languages
is an advantage. It is required that the applicant have at least two
years' relevant academic (or equivalent) experience beyond the Ph.D.
Persons nearing the end of a postdoctoral appointment are especially
encouraged to apply.

The twelve-month salary will be commensurate with the experience the
applicant brings to the position. Interested applicants are invited to
write (or telephone) for further information.

Applications (including curriculum vitae; bibliography; and name, address,
phone number, and email of at least three references) and recommendations
should be sent to
