Job description
This is an exciting opportunity to help shape a new open access University Press from scratch.

The press is currently using the Pressbooks and OJS platforms. If you are passionate about open publishing and have experience delivering academic publications, then we would love to hear from you. While we are looking to bring editorial expertise into the Library, there will be plenty of opportunities for professional development on the job. The University of Sussex has a unique personality- one that dares to be different- and our Open Press Editorial Manager will play a key role in creating a press that represents our institution.
