VACANCY ANNOUNCEMENT: EDITOR OF THE EUROPEAN REVIEW OF AGRICULTURAL ECONOMICS
Starting September 2025
The European Agricultural and Applied Economics Publications Foundation, (EAAEP Foundation), is seeking to appoint a new Editor for the European Review of Agricultural Economics (thereafter: ERAE or the Review) for the period beginning September 2025 (or as soon as possible thereafter). The new appointment is to replace Céline Nauges who will step down end of August. Candidates should have a strong research record in the discipline and proven reviewing expertise.

We encourage applicants from all fields of inquiry, and will seek to maintain a balance in coverage across topic-areas of interest to all EAAE members.
