The Publications Division of the American Chemical Society (ACS) has appointed Dr. T. Brent Gunnoe of the University of Virginia as the interim editor-in-chief of ACS Catalysis. This move follows the appointment of the journal’s previous editor, Dr. Christopher W. Jones as editor-in-chief of JACS Au. The search for a permanent editor-in-chief for ACS Catalysis will soon be underway.
Gunnoe has taught at both North Carolina State University and the University of Virginia, where he joined the faculty in 2008. He is the recipient of a National Science Foundation CAREER Award and an Alfred P. Sloan Research Fellowship, among others. He is co-editor of two books and co-author of four book chapters and more than 150 refereed journal publications. At the University of Virginia, he is a Commonwealth professor of chemistry and the director for the University of Virginia effort within the MAXNET Energy Consortium. Gunnoe has served as an associate editor for ACS Catalysis since 2010.
ACS is requesting nominations from the community as it searches for a permanent editor-in-chief for ACS Catalysis. As with the selection of editors for the Society’s over 65 journals, the search begins with the formation of a diverse, experienced and knowledgeable search committee that is tasked with identifying leading candidates from around the globe.
The merits of individual candidates are thoroughly evaluated and debated in assessing who will make the best editor for the next phase of the journal’s development. As with every journal editor-in-chief appointment, the ACS board of directors will approve the nomination to complete the search. Recommendations from the chemistry and engineering community will be considered and shared with the search committee.
