Call for Editor for New AGA Institute Press Publication

 

In January 2007 the AGA Institute Press will launch a new monthly publication entitled GI & Hepatology News. This publication will be the official newspaper of the Association. The newspaper will provide a wide range of content comprised of: techniques and approaches employed by experts in gastroenterology, hepatology, endoscopy and related areas; opinion and commentary from noted authorities in their respective fields on the latest published findings and important relevant educational opportunities and developments. Industry news content will be provided by Elsevier’s International News Group. Content will be based on coverage of research findings and relevant major North American and selected international meetings, including coverage of Association-sponsored meetings and symposia. The newspaper will also include select Association news.

 

The AGA Institute Press is now accepting applications for the position of editor of GI & Hepatology News. The editor position is a volunteer position and is not part of the Association’s paid managerial staff. The editor will be responsible for the intellectual and physical quality of the publication as well as its fiscal integrity. A permanent editorial office in Bethesda, Maryland, staffed by a managing editor and an editorial assistant, will coordinate the newspaper’s review and production process. The term of the position is five years.

 

To obtain more information or to request an application for the position, contact Debra Raden, at draden@gastro.org, or (301) 941-2635. Completed applications are due Aug. 31, 2006.
