This role is ideal for highly experienced publishing professionals with a strong academic background in Social Work or Social Sciences. Candidates should possess a minimum of 10 years in academic publishing, excellent English command, strong organizational skills, and proficiency in managing editorial processes, including peer review and plagiarism checks. A keen eye for detail and ability to coordinate with various stakeholders are crucial.

Individuals without a postgraduate degree in Social Work or Social Sciences, or those lacking significant, direct experience (at least 10 years) in academic publishing or journal management, should not apply. This is a highly specialized role requiring extensive expertise, and freshers or candidates with general administrative experience without specific publishing acumen would not be suitable.

Working with TISS, a Grade I Deemed University and a grant-in-aid institute under the Ministry of Education, Government of India, offers significant institutional prestige. The role specifically involves managing The Indian Journal of Social Work (IJSW), a flagship journal, which provides an excellent platform for contributing to academic scholarship. While initially contractual for one year, the role offers a chance to work within a reputable academic environment, enhancing one's profile in scholarly publishing.
