Call for nominations – Publication Committee member

The EAA is seeking a replacement for Professor Giovanna Michelon whose second non-renewable membership term on the EAA Publications Committee is due to end shortly after the EAA 2023 Congress. Professor Michelon’s replacement will be appointed on a three-year term beginning immediately after the EAA Annual Congress 2023 (with the possibility to renew for a second three-year term).

The main responsibilities of the EAA Publications Committee include advising on the appointment editors and editorial teams to European Accounting Review and Accounting in Europe, as well as overseeing the EAA’s broader publications strategy. Further details of EAA Publications Committee membership and its role are available here. The workload for Publications Committee members is not onerous. The main activities comprise one meeting per year at the time of the EAA congress, plus ad hoc meetings and panel interviews where necessary. The majority of business is conducted by email.

In keeping with the EAA’s Governance Guidelines, this call for applications is the first stage in the selection process. Please send your application via email to Baha Diyarov (baha.dyarov@eiasm.be) by 15 January 2023. The EAA is a diverse community of accounting scholars and we are keen that this diversity is reflected in Publications Committee membership. We are particularly keen to receive applications from women, minorities, and scholars with personal and scholarly profiles which can further increase the diversity of the Publications Committee.

Applications should include:

  • a current curriculum vitae that includes a successful record of publication in peer-reviewed journals
  • a brief memo summarizing your research agenda and describing your relevant qualifications to the extent that they are not apparent from the CV (no more than 150 words).

Following a review of the applications, the Publications Committee will make a recommendation to the EAA Management Committee which is the body responsible for confirming appointments.
