AMPS (Architecture, Media, Politics, Society) is an internationally recognized non-profit research group.

Architecture_MPS, ISSN 2050-9006, is a fully Open Access interdisciplinary academic journal with a primary focus on issues of the built environment.

UCL Press (University College London) is the journal’s publisher. It is the UK’s only fully open access university press.  Intellect Books is a global, innovative publishing house for books and journals with partners including University of Chicago Press.

Responding to the major growth in outputs created through their collaboration, these organisations call for several editors of books and journal publications. The positions are on a volunteer basis and embedded in two research programmes led by AMPS: Housing-Critical Futures and The Mediated City.

The Architecture_MPS journal publishes two volumes per year, each consisting of four articles. Journal editors will be responsible for a single volume each year. Several books will be published each year as part of both AMPS research programmes. Book editors will be responsible for one book each.
