caa.reviews seeks a new editorial board member to fill the post of Librarian, an ex officio position, for a four-year term, July 1, 2026–June 30, 2030.

CAA encourages applications from candidates with a strong record of professional service in the realm of art information who are committed to the imaginative development of caa.reviews. An online journal, caa.reviews is devoted to the peer review of recent books, museum exhibitions, and projects relevant to the fields of art history, visual studies, and the arts.

The editorial board advises the editor-in-chief and field editors for the journal and helps them to identify books and exhibitions for review and to solicit reviewers, articles, and other content for the journal. The editorial board guides the journal’s editorial program and may propose new initiatives for it. Members stay abreast of trends and issues in the field by attending and reporting on sessions at the CAA Annual Conference and academic conferences, symposia, and other events in their fields. The Librarian member is expected to advise on issues regarding institutional access to the journal’s content as well as advances in scholarly publishing.

The caa.reviews editorial board meets three times per year, twice in the spring and fall and once at the CAA Annual Conference in February. Members also attend the annual business meeting of the caa.reviews Council of Field Editors at the Annual Conference. Members pay their travel and lodging expenses to attend the meeting at the conference. Meetings in the spring and fall are currently held remotely. Members of all editorial boards volunteer their services to CAA without compensation.

Candidates must be current CAA members and should not currently serve on the editorial board of a competing journal or another CAA editorial board or committee. Nominators should ascertain their nominee’s willingness to serve before submitting a name; self-nominations are also welcome. Please email a statement describing your interest in and qualifications for appointment, a CV, and your contact information as a single PDF to Eugenia Bell, CAA Editorial Director, with the subject line caa.reviews Librarian.
