SI wants to hire a remote LaTeX guru

lukeprog

The Singularity Institute needs to hire 1-2 people who are fluent in LaTeX to help us transform past and future SI publications from looking like this to looking like this.

As with the remote researcher positions, pay is hourly and starts at $14/hr but that will rise if the product is good. You must be available to work at least 20 hrs/week to be considered.

Perks:

Work from home, with flexible hours.
Age and credentials are irrelevant; only the product matters.

If you're interested, contact luke@intelligence.org and describe past LaTeX work you've done, with attached PDF examples.

Just a suggestion, but rather than hire a 'LaTeX guru', why not use LyX? If you don't know about it, LyX is a GUI word processor that's very, very easy to use, will output clean LaTeX, and is absolutely perfect for writing scientific papers in (it's the only word processor I know of that has a full section in its Help menu on how to do Feynman diagrams). I wrote my last three books (plus tons of short stories) in it, and I'd guess that for an investment of at most five to ten hours time upfront, anyone could produce beautifully typeset LaTeX in it without ever needing to drop down to the actual code, and I find writing in it MUCH easier than writing in MS Word or a Wordalike, because it doesn't actually fight the writer.

It's Free Software, and you can get it from http://lyx.org .

LyX a great tool, I can testify to that.

I think the SI is looking for someone who can make some nice LaTeX-classes; when those are done, people can use whatever editor is the best for them (including LyX) for writing the papers. BTW, it would be excellent if SI would make their templates available, the example looks very nice.

Please, consider TeXmacs: http://texmacs.org/ (TeXmacs is not based on LaTeX, but can export to LaTeX or HTML if it is necessary.) Make an informed choice between TeXmacs and LyX.
