New members sought for ARMA Editorial Working Group

ARMA Insights is the online magazine for members of ARMA UK, with over 10,000 views since launching in February 2024 in digital format. The ARMA Editorial Working Group (EWG) leads and edits Insights, including its design, focus and strategic development, and is now seeking new members to fill a number of vacancies.  

The EWG meets every quarter to generate ideas and identify potential contributors for content. Between meetings, they also play a key role in approaching contributors and reviewing draft articles before publication. For more information, please refer to the working group’s Terms of Reference.  

Although applications are welcome from all, the EWG is specifically looking to broaden the range of views within its membership and, therefore, would welcome expressions of interest from those in the following roles and/or locations:  

• working for research institutes, independent research organisations, public sector research establishments, Catapult centres, NHS bodies, mission groups and funders. 

• research strategy and policy, project management and post award roles such as finance, audits, contracts and reporting 

• working in blended academic/professional services-type roles 

• based in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland 

If you would like to get involved in the growth and direction of ARMA Insights, send us an expression of interest statement (no more than 400 words), summarising who you are and what you do, why are interested in joining the Editorial Working Group and what you feel you could bring to the role. Please send the statement to Nicole@arma.ac.uk (subject line: ‘Editorial Working Group vacancies’).  

The closing date for expressions of interest is Friday 28 February 2025. 

You are not required to be an ARMA member at the time of application but should become one prior to taking up the position.
