NAIC SEEKS EDITOR FOR JOURNAL OF
INSURANCE REGULATION

WASHINGTON, D.C. (Feb. 4, 2013) — The National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) is seeking applicants for the editorship of the Journal of Insurance Regulation (JIR), its peer review publication for opinion and discussion of major regulatory and public policy issues in insurance. The JIR provides state insurance departments, industry and other parties cutting-edge, high-quality research on topics in the regulation arena. Typical articles include opinion pieces, in-depth legal studies, economic analyses, public policy analyses and empirical studies.

The editor of the JIR solicits articles from potential authors concerning all aspects of insurance regulation, as well as outside reviews of material published elsewhere that may be interesting to subscribers. The editor works closely with the authors, a peer review board and NAIC staff to complete an issue for publication. The editor is responsible for writing an Editor's Perspective for the annual issue, table of contents and an author biographical statement per article.  This position may require some travel, including attendance at no less than one NAIC national meeting annually.

Interested individuals should send an email to jireditor@naic.org to express interest. The NAIC will evaluate the candidates and announce the chosen individual. Questions may be directed to Renee Brownfield, Publication Sales & Production Manager at rbrownfield@naic.org.
