Applications for the SPSP Editorial Fellowship Program at Personality and Social Psychology Review in 2023 are currently open.
In service of SPSP’s core values of innovation, rigor, diversity, and inclusiveness, this pilot fellowship program seeks to create a supportive pathway to editorial leadership for psychologists from communities that have been historically excluded from these roles. The goal of the fellowship is to identify and support someone who
(1) is interested in editorial leadership,
(2) wouldn’t otherwise come into it at this moment in their career, and
(3) may not have easy access to professional support systems that facilitate and support editorial experience and mentorship from centrally positioned scholars in the field.
Worth of Award
- The Fellow will join an innovative, collaborative, and supportive editorial team as an Associate Editor for 12 months, beginning on Jan. 1, 2023.
- The position includes an honorarium stipend of $2,500 USD.
Eligibility
- The fellowship is open to candidates from historically excluded groups who have completed their PhD.
- Candidates may hold an academic or non-academic position.
- We are especially interested in candidates who are from and/or working in Africa, the Middle East, or Latin America, as well as Indigenous scholars in any country.
- It is also useful to bring an interdisciplinary scholarly perspective (either within different sub fields of psychology or across disciplines), an investment in the future of the fields of personality and/or social psychology (broadly defined), and an interest in collaborating with the current editorial team on the development of manuscripts advancing theory.
How to Apply
Interested candidates should complete a short application that satisfies the following:
- What, if anything, has been a barrier to your participation as a decision-maker in the editorial process? (one paragraph or less)
- What would you personally gain by completing this fellowship? (one paragraph or less)
- Please briefly list any reviewing or editorial experience you have. Editorial experience is not a requirement, but we recommend having some reviewing experience.
- Please briefly list your areas of theoretical and methodological expertise (research areas, theoretical frameworks, methods used, etc.).
- Please briefly describe perspectives or experiences that you would bring to the senior editorial team that might be missing from this team or not well represented among editors in the field (for example, experience living or working in Africa, the Middle East, and Latin America; experience as an Indigenous scholar in any country).
- Please provide your CV.
Deadline: The application deadline for the SPSP Editorial Fellowship Program is November 15, 2022.
