Abstract
Acta Radiologica is an old radiological journal founded back in 1921. The journal is owned by the Nordic Radiological Societies (Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, Sweden). The journal produces 12 issues per year. Acta Radiologica also has a sister journal, Acta Radiologica Open, which is an open-access online-only journal founded in 2012. Both journals have the same editorial board with altogether 13 section editors from eight different countries in Europe, Asia, and America, covering all subspecialties within diagnostic and interventional radiology.
Our present Chief Editor will retire on 31 December 2017, after having served in this position for 15 years (three 5-year terms).
The Board of the Foundation Acta Radiologica is therefore in the process of identifying his successor for a 5-year term with the possibility of prolongation, starting 1 January 2018.
Required qualifications:
‐ International reputation in medical imaging ‐ Broad experience of clinical radiology and basic research ‐ Vast experience in planning, writing, and presentation of scientific manuscripts ‐ Broad experience in editorial work ‐ High standard of English (vocal and written) ‐ A well-organized person with the ability to prioritize and meet deadlines
Further information can be obtained by direct inquiries to the present Chief Editor, Professor Arnulf Skjennald (a.skjennald@online.no). Complete discretion will be undertaken.
An evaluation committee has been established consisting of Professor Jussi Hirvonen (FI) Chairman, Professor Katrine Åhlström Riklund (SE), and the present Chief Editor (NO) as Secretary.
The closing date for applications will be 31 December 2016 and a final decision will be taken at the annual meeting of the Board during the next Nordic Radiology Meeting to be held in Reykjavik, Iceland during 29 June to 2 July 2017.
The new Chief Editor must be able to invest a substantial part of his/her working time to the journal. The salary will be negotiated.
