APSA has opened the search process for a successor to Perspectives on Politics Editor Jennifer Hochschild of Harvard University. Applications and nominations are sought for an editor or editorial team of Perspectives, published quarterly by APSA. Perspectives is a general political science journal that draws on rigorous, broad-based research and integrative thinking to provide insight on significant political matters. The journal seeks to capture the excitement and diversity of good political science research and apply it to contemporary politics.

Candidates should be prepared to offer a vision for the journal—commenting specifically on anticipated continuities as well as changes to the journal's current approach and style. Relevant criteria for the editorship are scholarly achievement, breadth of interest, relevant experience, literary skill, and organizational experience.

The journal currently operates with an editor in chief and five associate editors who are responsible for specific subfields. We welcome applicants to consider alternative structures that would help with the work load. This could include, for example, an application from two or three co-editors with clearly delineated responsibilities.

The APSA will compensate the editor at 2/9ths of salary and will also provide significant financial support for a managing editor and for copy editing. The Association anticipates that the editor(s)' home institution will provide support for three half-time assistants as well as office space and equipment.

Once an editor (or editorial team) has been selected, the editor will select book review editors in consultation with the search committee. Susanne Rudolph and Margaret Levi have named a search committee consisting of:
