Call for the position of Associate Editor
The associate editorship of this journal, published by the MLA Forum, Languages, Literatures and
Cultures, Medieval Iberian, is shared on a rotating basis among researchers in our sector of the
profession. The Executive Committee of the MLA Forum, LLC Medieval Iberian, now seeks
applications for the position of Associate Editor for La corónica. Applicants should be established
scholars with publishing and editing experience in both English and Spanish. Evidence of successful
collaborative work is required. The associate editor will be responsible for reviewing submissions,
choosing outside readers, offering editorial suggestions, assembling and sending suggestions to
authors, inviting some submissions as well as undertaking other tasks related to the pre-publication

students as a mentored experience. The associate editor should expect an average of four or more

Assurance of institutional support and release time for editorial duties will form part of the
successful application portfolio. Applicants must hold membership in the MLA.
