Call for Editors in Chief: Health Systems and Journal of Simulation

The OR Society is seeking new Editors-in-Chief for two of our prestigious OR Society journals: Health Systems and Journal of Simulation.

The Journal of Simulation (JOS) was founded in 2006 and publishes articles and technical notes from researchers and practitioners active in simulation. JOS encourages papers that span the breadth of the simulation process, including both modelling and analysis methodologies, and practical papers from a wide range of simulation applications in domains including manufacturing, service, defence, health care, and general commerce. JOS will particularly seek topics that are not "mainstream" in nature but interesting and evocative to the simulation community. Read more here.

The journal Health Systems promotes the idea that all aspects of health and healthcare delivery can be viewed from a systems perspective. The journal is currently co-edited jointly by Nelson King, Kathy Kotiadis, Samir Chatterjee and Daniel Gartner splitting the responsibilities equally between operational research and systems. There is a growing team of over twenty-five area editors in place. Read more here.

The selected editor will be expected to have worked in the field of the journal’s interest, have a clear understanding of the journal’s aims, and have constructive ideas on its future development. Each appointment is for an initial five-year term and can be extended. An honorarium is paid to each editor. 

Please send your CV with a covering letter to The OR Society's Executive Director, Gavin Blackett, at [email protected]. The deadline for expressions of interest is 30 June 2022.
