ACM TALG Editor-in-Chief Search: Call for nominations

------------------------------------------------

Nominations are now open for the next editor-in-chief of the ACM Transactions 
on Algorithms. ACM TALG (webpage: http://talg.acm.org/) publishes original 
research of the highest quality dealing with algorithms. It is a peer-reviewed 
journal, appearing quarterly. Specific areas of computation covered by the 
journal are listed at http://talg.acm.org/Aims.html.

We are looking for a well-established person with a strong record of research 
achievements and service, and with a vision for the future of the field. The 
term of appointment is three years, to begin late summer 2014, with the 
possibility of renewal for a second term. The editor-in-chief is responsible 
for faithfully executing the editorial charter of the journal yet should be 
proactive in adapting the journal and its charter to changes in the field. A 
description of the duties of the EiC and evaluation criteria can be found at
