[Applications Closed] The Singularity Institute is hiring remote LaTeX editors

Malo

The Singularity Institute has recently made the transition to a LaTeX based document production workflow for its publications and republished its existing research papers. However, there is still much work to be done and we need more remote LaTeX editors. Some projects currently in the queue include converting both The Sequences and Facing the Singularity into LaTeX based books.

As with other remote positions, pay is hourly and starts at $14/hr but will increase if you produce a good product.

Perks:

Work flexible hours: Complete your work in few large chunks or many small ones—at 03:00 or 18:00—it's up to you.
Work from wherever you please: your home (maybe even in bed), your local coffee shop, a hostel in Nepal, whatever.
Age and credentials are irrelevant; only product matters.
Make money while contributing to The Singularity Institute.

Requirements:

Experience creating and typesetting LaTeX based documents.
Good attention to detail (this is more important than being a LaTeX wiz).
Ability to work autonomously and set your own schedule.

If you're interested, apply here. If you aren't sure you're qualified, err on the side of applying.

I'm not sure how things have been done in the past, but as of last week I'm in charge of the document production team and have access to editors timesheets.

I'd also suggest that you are overestimating the variance of speed (holding quality of the product constant) of workers who stick with the team.

Finally, tasks aren't always as clearcut as I think you imagine (not every task is, go convert this document and get it back to me) so that would complicate paying in a non-hourly fashion. Additionally clear cut tasks might vary in difficulty—converting one document might be easier then another—which means assigning a dollar figure isn't a trivial task and comes with it's own costs.
