The Nominations Committee seeks nominations for the position of President of ESSE, which falls vacant in January 2025. The usual term of office is three years. Candidates should be Professors of English with a distinguished scholarly career, and they should preferably have been involved in ESSE affairs. They need to obtain the written support from two national associations. Candidates should submit, as e–mail attachments:
- a letter of application
- a short (2–3 page) CV
- letters of support from two national associations.
Each national association can also nominate candidates for this position (only one candidate can be nominated by each national association). In this case, national associations will submit, as e–mail attachments:
- a letter, signed by the Association’s President, describing the candidate’s competence for the specific office
- a short (2–3 page) CV of the candidate proposed
- a letter, signed by another Association’s President, seconding this proposal
- a letter in which the candidate will express his/her agreement with the candidacy.
