Re: Apple-Crop: American Pomological Society is searching for a new editor

[Wesley R. Autio]

Dr. Parmar, I am sorry for the delay in responding to your question.  The position certainly is open to people from around the World.  All correspondence can be done with email.  It does, however, require attendance at the Annual Meeting (usually held in conjunction with the Annual Meeting of the American Society for Horticultural Science). -- Wes Dr.Chiranjit Parmar wrote: Dear Wesley,   Is the position open to foreigners too.  I think I can do the job very well.  I had published 2-3 articles on Himalayan wild growing fruits some years back when I used to work in the university.   You can have a look at my CV at Fruitipedia.  Currently I am compiling Fruitipedia and working on a multi volume book, SOME VERY LITTLE KNOWN FRUITS OF THE WORLD.    I also keep writing articles on lesser known fruits in a couple of US magazines.   So please advise me.  If the possibilities are there, I shall submit my regular application.   With best regards,   Very truly yours,   Dr. Chiranjit Parmar 186/3 Jail Road Mandi  HP  175 001 INDIA Phones: 01905 222810; 094181 81323 www.fruitipedia.com     ----- Original Message ----- From: Wesley R.

The American Pomological Society is searching for a new editor for the Journal of the American Pomological Society.  The Journal is the most important output of our society, and therefore, the editor is likely the most important position.  We would very much like to find an enthusiastic individual with enough experience to take on this extremely important role.  If you are interested, please review the following documents: A list of editorial duties, compensation, and approximate time commitment http://people.umass.edu/autio/APS_Editor_duties_and_compensation.pdf A draft agreement between the Editor and the Society http://people.umass.edu/autio/APS_Editor_agreement.pdf Interested applicants should email a letter of interest and an electronic version of their CV (condensed to include editorial experience primarily) to me (au...@pssci.umass.edu) by July 19, 2010.  The Editorial Committee will review applications and make a recommendation to the APS Board at the Annual Meeting.  If you have questions, do not hesitate to contact me. ________________________________________________________________________ Wesley R.
