Dear colleagues,

Seismica is a community-led Diamond Open-Access journal for Seismology and
Earthquake Science. The Seismica initiative offers an open, equitable and
ethical output for disseminating our peer-reviewed scientific findings. It
is planned that the journal will launch in early 2022. You can read more
about the Seismica initiative in our community report, which is available
on EarthArXiv: https://doi.org/10.31223/X5304V.

The next key phase of the development of the journal is to recruit an
Editorial Board. Our key aim is that the Editorial Board is as diverse as
possible, representing the truly global scientific fields of Seismology &
Earthquake Science and allowing traditionally under-represented groups an
opportunity to steer the future success of Seismica.

Applications are now open for you to volunteer to be part of the Seismica
Editorial Board.* There are a range of roles available, regardless of your
previous experience, skills, and career position. *We will put in place a
mentorship programme so we can share our different expertise and skills
with each other. You can find out more about the different roles available
in our Editorial Board role description document:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Lo0WMNJFHdkSW-T2PZBqQmniL9a-C3Ca/view?usp=sharing
.

*The online application form can be found here:
https://forms.gle/yXV5xn8vccdPD8dq5.*

It is a fairly short form and should only take 10-15 minutes of your time
to complete it. Detailed instructions are available in the form. Feel free
to nominate yourself for as many roles as you like - both Management and
Handling Editorial positions. Selection by an independent committee will
happen in two phases: first they will choose the Management and Operational
positions. Once this group has been chosen, this new group will then
proceed to select the Handling Section Editor roles from remaining
applications.

We would love to see your application! Applications will close at *midnight
UTC on 15th September 2021.*
