The National Tax Association (NTA) seeks to expand the editorial team of the National Tax Journal (NTJ) with the appointment of additional Editors to begin on January 1, 2026, for 3-year renewable terms. The Search Committee will follow up with a subset of candidates for additional information, and the new NTJ editors will be approved by the NTA Board of Directors.
Published since 1948, the National Tax Journal disseminates high quality original research on governmental tax and expenditure policies quarterly. All submissions accepted for publication are subject to professional peer review and include economic, theoretical, and empirical analyses of tax and expenditure issues with an emphasis on policy implications. All issues include an NTJ Forum, edited separately, which consists of invited papers by leading scholars that examine in depth a single policy issue or papers that were featured at the NTA’s Spring Symposium.
Editors are responsible for determining the editorial policy and content of the NTJ, the managerial structure including appointment of the Editorial Advisory Board to assist in obtaining peer reviews of submitted articles and determining the selection of manuscripts for publication. The NTJ’s annual submission volume, excluding invited papers, has grown over the past three years from 119 to 187 [including a popular new Short Paper option]. The Editor is also an ex officio member of the NTA Executive Committee. Stipends will be provided.
Nominees must be current NTA members. You can self-nominate or put forward the name of a member whom you feel would be an excellent leadership candidate. NTA invites and encourages diverse nominations that include women, minorities, persons with disabilities and underrepresented groups.
Nominations will be accepted through July 28, 2025, 11:59pm EDT.
