World Policy Journal, a respected global affairs quarterly magazine celebrating its 25th anniversary in 2008, is seeking a new editor-in-chief. The Journal’s pages are distinguished by articles written in a lively, non-academic style, coming from strong points of view that transcend the traditional foreign-versus-domestic policy divide. It runs policy articles that present a well-supported argument and offer provocative policy recommendations; essays that consider (and reconsider) such issues as international political economy, geo-economic and geopolitical developments, global climate change, immigration, exile, and ethnicity; articles that provide insight into a historical era, event, or person; and articles that illuminate cultural change and cross-cultural influences; profiles that comment on the political or cultural context of which the subject is a part; book reviews; and reportage from regions or on subjects not widely covered in the general media.

World Policy Journal is the flagship publication of the World Policy Institute (www.worldpolicy.org), a non-partisan source of informed policy leadership for more than four decades, which develops and champions innovative policies that require a progressive and global point of view. In an increasingly interdependent world, WPI focuses on complex challenges that demand cooperative policy solutions to achieve: an inclusive and sustainable global market economy, engaged global civic participation and effective governance, and collaborative approaches to national and global security.

The ideal candidate will:
* have experience with and positive attitude toward using the internet, blogs, event recordings, and other multimedia formats to form an integral part of the Journal publication and raise WPJ’s online profile
* have a distinguished publication record, preferably including one or more books.
* have access to a network of writers who bring a “world” perspective to their writing reflecting global interdependence
* have a record of finding and developing policy analysts, writers, and speakers with fresh, insightful and persuasive perspectives on key issues
* attract high-quality contributors to a journal that is ambitious, but with limited circulation and budget for commissioned pieces
* be committed to reflecting the World Policy Institute’s mission statement in the pages of WPJ
* ensure that each WPJ issue includes “must-read” content in an ever-more crowded arena
* have a demonstrated sensibility for identifying and assembling ahead-of-the-curve issue themes that speak to crucial policy challenges and potential solutions that have not yet received sufficient attention
* be expert at structural editing as well as line editing to ensure pungent, brief, clear, and telling writing
* have a record of meeting deadlines with efficiency and good cheer
* experience in, and demonstrated imaginative contribution to, developing a journal’s circulation, and in obtaining feedback from key subscribers
* collaborate with World Policy Institute staff in developing events –for example with WPJ authors or potential authors– designed to raise WPJ’s visibility
* be effective at working with the Executive Director, Board, and staff in a collegial and productive manner

The appointment may be part-time or full-time, depending on the candidate’s set of qualifications and situation. Competitive salary and benefits commensurate with experience and qualifications.
Interested candidates should send a CV, letter of interest, and writing sample to Michele Wucker, Executive Director, World Policy Institute, 220 Fifth Ave, 9th floor, New York, NY 10001, or by email to wucker@worldpolicy.org.
