The In-Mind Foundation is soliciting applications and nominations for a chief editor for the International In-Mind Magazine, starting as soon as possible.

Description of the Magazine

In-Mind Magazine is a leading Open Access magazine that aims to communicate psychological science to a general audience. We publish peer-reviewed research review articles intended for a broad (non-academic) audience. We specialize in all sub-disciplines of psychology (including social/personality, developmental, cognitive, clinical, biopsychology, school, applied, etc.). Working with In-Mind means you will be collaborating with scholars from all over the world. The core mission of the team is to share science with as many people as possible. The magazine has therefore been Open Access since its inception 10 years ago. We have never relied on commercial publishers, and have no intent of doing so. Take a look around our website to find out more.
