Advanced Philosophy Research Writer / Editor Needed

Posted last week

Worldwide

Summary

Seeking a strong research writer/editor to help revise and develop two philosophy papers (one or the other): one in continental philosophy and one in philosophy of mind. The ideal candidate should be comfortable working at a high academic level with dense theoretical material. The continental philosophy paper engages thinkers and traditions related to Baudrillard, Nietzsche, Adorno, Heidegger, Sartre, Foucault, Lacan, Deleuze/Guattari, critical theory, and postmodern thought. The philosophy of mind paper involves cognition, perception, consciousness, intelligence, symbolic frameworks, and representation. This is not a basic proofreading role. The work requires thoughtful editorial revision, with attention to clarity, flow, transitions, organization, sentence structure, and academic tone. The goal is to bring the written pieces into a more finished, polished form while preserving the original voice, argument, and intellectual direction. Ideal candidates may have graduate-level training, academic writing experience, or a strong background in philosophy, critical theory, cognitive science, or scholarly editing. Applicants should include relevant background, writing/editing samples if available, and areas of specialization.
