The American Association of Adult Continuing Education (AAACE) and Wiley-Blackwell Publishers that are working on the creation of a multi-volume, hybrid print and online, comprehensive reference work on the field of adult education, are looking for a senior scholar to direct the project as General Editor.

• Determining the scope and organization of the work
• Soliciting scholars to write entries
• Assembling a team of Associate Editors to help manage the work
• Creating and adhering to a schedule of completion for the project

The project would last from three to four years, and the selected candidate would be compensated with an advance, a share of the royalties, and unlimited free online access.

If you are interested in being considered, please submit a CV and a letter of intent that outlines your vision for the project, including preliminary thoughts on how this work will complement and extend AAACE’s current publications (http://www.aaace.org), by January 1, 2015 to AAACE Publications Chair, Amy D.
