Inference: International Review of Science

We are seeking a highly skilled and experienced editor to join the Inference editorial team in Paris (or a freelance working from abroad-home).

Working alongside a close-knit team of friendly, dedicated and hard-working editors, the successful applicant will be editing challenging and compelling manuscripts across a range of scientific topics. This is a demanding, but rewarding role, for which a highly skilled and experienced editor will be suitably remunerated.

Applicants must have a background in the hard sciences: Mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, statistics, or computer science. Applicants need not have a graduate degree, or even an undergraduate degree; but must nonetheless possess the requisite background, no matter how acquired.

Native, or near native, level fluency in verbal and written English is absolutely essential. Fluency in additional languages, French in particular, is desirable, but not a pre-requisite.

Prior editorial experience, whether for a scientific journal, or in the publishing industry at large, working directly with authors, is highly advantageous.

Editors at Inference are assigned a manuscript upon its acceptance for publication and are responsible for the manuscript until it is ready to be passed into the hands of the journal’s copy-editor. An editor must be able to grasp the overall point of an essay, recognize its weaknesses in both argument and rhetoric, and then work with the author throughout the editing process. Revisions may be incremental, or fundamental. Editorial work is both self-effacing and self-promoting. A good editor must allow himself to be a writer's second self without quite allowing himself to be a writer's second voice. Inference has no ideological, political, or religions agendas whatsoever. Editors must be able to approach manuscripts free of preconceptions.
