SHARP News publishes a range of bibliographies beyond its Annual Bibliography: publishing bibliographies on special themes such as paper, accessibility, and queer studies; bibliographies dedicated to dissertations and theses; and location-specific bibliographies on South America, South Asia, and Africa.
We are currently seeking expressions of interest from those who would be interested in working with SHARP News Bibliographer, Julia Boechat Machado, to serve a three-year term with SHARP News (2027–2030).
The individual serving in this role will collaborate with Julia Boechat Machado to prepare an annual monograph and edited collections bibliography, an annual dissertation and theses bibliography, and 1–2 special topics bibliographies each year. They will also invite and manage occasional special topics collaborators from the SHARP community and support the Social Outreach Editor in promoting bibliographies. Familiarity with Zotero and strong search skills within bibliographic databases are required for this role. Bibliographers should also have strong reading skills in English and another language.
Applicants should submit a one-page letter of interest indicating their vision for the role, as well as a brief (no more than two-page) resume highlighting relevant experience. We encourage applications from early career researchers (ECRs) and especially welcome applications from BIPOC.
Please note that all positions at SHARP News are volunteer roles, and do not offer remuneration.
Applications are due by November 1, 2026 to news@sharpweb.org.
Please feel free to direct any questions to the Editor in Chief, Jocelyn Hargrave, at news@sharpweb.org and Bibliographer, Julia Boechat Machado, at bibliographer@sharpweb.org.
