An application consists of a curriculum vitae, a letter of interest outlining a vision for Math Horizons, and the names and contact information of three references willing and able to answer questions from the Search Committee about the applicant’s writing, editing, and organizational skills. Joint applications from prospective editorial teams are welcome.
