Academic Editor: Physical Sciences & Engineering

About the role

Nubint Expert is a service we are preparing in which subject experts review, edit and translate researchers' manuscripts themselves. We are looking for editors in Physical Sciences & Engineering who can correct the grammar, vocabulary and style of English manuscripts and format them to a journal's submission guidelines — keeping the author's meaning while making the text easy for the journal's readers to follow.

What you will do

• Correct grammar, vocabulary and sentence structure in English manuscripts in Physical Sciences & Engineering
• Bring style and terminology in line with the conventions of the field, and leave comments for the author where a sentence is ambiguous
• Format the manuscript, references, figures and tables to the target journal's submission guidelines
• With experience, also take on second-pass checks of manuscripts edited by other editors

Who we are looking for

• Strong academic English writing (native or equivalent)
• A master's degree or higher in a field related to Physical Sciences & Engineering, or experience in academic editing
• Familiarity with editing tools such as Word Track Changes and with academic styles such as APA or Chicago
• Experience working with journal submission guidelines is a plus

Why you will enjoy this work

• Be among the first to read and shape new research in Physical Sciences & Engineering
• Focus on turning manuscripts into submittable text while keeping the author's meaning
• Work remotely
