Acquisitions Editor (Published August 7)

A posting for an Acquisitions Editor for the University of Alberta Press is live on the University of Alberta employment site.

Application deadline: September 10, 2025

Substantive and Structural Editor (Published August 6)

Background
The Royal Alberta Museum (RAM) is developing a new exhibition about how and why we collect. The project team is developing the exhibition for a target audience of visitors aged 9-14 (with a Flesch-Kincaid grade level of 6-9 in mind). The exhibition will be presented bilingually (English and French).
Visitors will discover that collecting requires decision-making, relationships, and care, and that RAM’s collections represent Alberta’s past and present, with an eye towards the future. The exhibition will encourage visitors to think like a curator by exploring the reasons behind recent acquisitions and learning about the dynamic process of museum collecting. The exhibition experience will be playful, participatory, and self-guided.

Services Required
The RAM requires English-language substantive and structural editing, and French-language translation and concordance editing services to finalize bilingual copy for this new exhibition. The copy will include, but not be limited to: Exhibition introductory text, thematic introduction text, topic introduction text, story text, extended story text, and label caption text [Appendix A: Text Hierarchy]. Firstly, the RAM will need English-language editing to ensure copy is written in plain language, is suitable for the target audience, and is compliant with specified English word maximums. This will likely involve substantive or structural editing as defined by the Editors’ Association of Canada. Secondly, edited English-language text must be translated to Canadian French. Concordance and copy editing must then be completed on the French-language text (we anticipate French word counts to be up to 20% longer than English word counts). The proponent must then compile and deliver final text as a bilingual package ready for production.

Project Schedule
The selected Proponent must be available from August 18 to October 17, 2025. The Proponent will be expected to perform structural editing and review of English text, submitting to the Province for review,
8/5/2025 within five business days of delivery via email. Text may be provided to the Proponent in batches as exhibition development continues between August 25 and October 17, 2025.

Additional Details

Day-to-day communication between with the Province and the Proponent will be in English. • Upon request, virtual meetings will be conducted via MS Teams.
The Province will deliver all text to the Proponent in Microsoft Word DOCX format. All deliverables will be provided to the Province in the same format.
Proposal Requirements
Legal name and address of the Proponent.
Brief description of the experience and training of the Proponent team, including confirmation of Editors’ Association of Canada certification for at least one of the English editors representing the Proponent team.
The successful Proponent will be required to provide proof of insurance prior to entering a contract with the Province. The insurance shall include general liability coverage with a minimum limit of $2,000,000 CAD per occurrence, covering bodily injury, personal injury, and property damage, including loss of use.
An all-inclusive cost estimate, including per unit cost breakdowns with reference to the provided text hierarchy:
