A Call for Contributing Editors

by Editor on February 23, 2009

We are looking to extend RTJ’s reach by enlisting a core group of contributing editors. The role of a contributing editor will be to help inform RTJ readers of red team-related issues, news, books, and reports within the contributing editor’s area of expertise. We are specifically looking for editors in these topical areas:

  • Future military operations and technologies,
  • Homeland security,
  • Law enforcement,
  • Cybersecurity,
  • Economics and national security,
  • Psychology and cognitive science, and
  • Business strategy.

A polymath could no doubt handle all these areas, but we expect that any given editor will be fluent in no more than two topics. While the role is unpaid, it is not altogether thankless. You will have the opportunity to participate in the effort to promote better analysis and decision making in a very challenging time. If you are interested, please send a note expressing your interest and detailing your qualifications to editor at redteamjournal dot com.
