Call for editors

Elore hakee toimituskuntaansa vahvistusta. Haemme täydennystä lehden artikkeli- ja ajankohtaistoimituksiin. Artikkelitoimitukseen haemme folkloristiikan ja lähialojen väitelleitä tutkijoita. Ajankohtaistoimituksen jäsenyys taas soveltuu erinomaisesti myös väitöskirjatutkijoille, jotka haluavat tutustua tieteellisen lehden toimittamiseen ja verkostoitua tieteenalan muihin tutkijoihin.

Lisäksi etsimme innokasta ja toimekasta päätoimittajaa kahden vuoden kaudeksi vuoden 2025 alusta alkaen, nykyisen vanhemman päätoimittajan luopuessa tehtävästään. Päätoimittajia on Elorella aina kaksi. Vuonna 2025 aloittava uusi päätoimittaja hoitaa tehtävää vuoden ajan yhdessä nykyisen päätoimittaja Tuukka Karlssonin kanssa ja saa vuodeksi 2026 parikseen uuden päätoimittajan. Päätoimittajalta odotamme kokemusta tieteellisten artikkelien toimittamisesta, folkloristiikan ja lähialojen tuntemusta, sekä yhteistyö- ja päätöksentekokykyä.
