The Committee for Publications of ASOR announces a call for the nominations of the editor/s of ASOR’s Archaeological Report (ASOR-ARS) Series. The term of office for the position is three years, beginning January 1, 2021 and is eligible to be renewed one time. Review of nominations will begin September 1, 2020 and continue until the position is filled. The Committee for Publications seeks to send nominations to the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees by November of 2020. This is a voluntary and unpaid position.

If a candidate is being nominated by another person, we seek the candidate’s name, a short academic history, a brief statement describing why the candidate would be appropriate for the position, contact information, and, most importantly, a statement from the candidate that he, she or them agrees to their name being placed into nomination.
