The Berkeley Electronic Press (bepress) is currently looking for a Publisher to run our journals division and continue our rapid growth. You will be ultimately responsible for all aspects of our journal publishing business: marketing, sales, acquisitions, policy, and production. Our VP of Journal Sales and our Journal Director will report to you. The division is running smoothly, and, as a result, your position will have substantial time for you to personally work on acquisitions in addition to management, and possibly some marketing if you have a strength in that area. You will need to travel extensively to universities and conferences throughout the U.S. to recruit top academics to found journals and to find opportunities to acquire underperforming journals. Requirements are a proven track record of personally acquiring successful academic journals, senior-level management experience, and the ability to lead a technologically innovative operation. Experience with accounting and prior P&L responsibility is a big plus, as are comfort and contacts with the library and scholarly community. Living in or relocating to the San Francisco Bay Area is a must. If you can't do that, please consider our currently posted job for Acquisitions Editor. The Berkeley Electronic Press (bepress) currently has over 35 employees and publishes 38 electronic peer-reviewed journals, primarily in the social sciences (economics and law) with a growing cluster in STM. Bepress also has a successful software development and licensing division. We license Digital Commons, the world's leading hosted institutional repository platform, ExpressO, the leading submission platform for law review submission, and EdiKit, a peer-review workflow system. Journals at bepress feature several innovations in electronic publishing, including our guest access publishing model (recently shortlisted for the ALPSP/Charlesworth award for Publishing Innovation). Edited by leading scholars, including two Nobel Laureates, the journals are steadily growing in popularity and selectivity. Revenue is growing at 40% per year, without price increases. Submissions have grown at 40% per year for three years running, while the number of articles published has grown more slowly as selectivity has increased. To find out more, visit http://www.bepress.com/journals. To apply, please email your resume and a cover letter to: Aaron Edlin Chairman, The Berkeley Electronic Press aedlin@bepress.com Applications will be reviewed as they are received.
