MSP

Math­em­at­ic­al Sci­ences Pub­lish­ers, a non­profit 501(c)(3) tax-ex­empt cor­por­a­tion, is look­ing for a Data In­teg­rity Spe­cial­ist to join a small team of ex­per­i­enced pro­fes­sion­als. An ideal can­did­ate is one who con­stantly seeks ways to im­prove, is pas­sion­ate about do­ing great work, and takes pleas­ure from be­ing thor­ough and ef­fi­cient. This po­s­i­tion is part-time (15-20 hours a week) and 100% re­mote, with a start­ing pay between $17-$19/hour de­pend­ent on ex­per­i­ence.

About the team

MSP’s data and re­search team main­tains an ex­tens­ive data­base of au­thors and ref­er­ees con­nec­ted to our re­search journ­als and pub­lish­ing ser­vices. We fa­cil­it­ate peer re­view and the pub­lish­ing pro­cess by en­sur­ing that this data is cor­rect and up-to-date, re­dir­ect­ing missed email cor­res­pond­ence, flag­ging and cor­rect­ing du­plic­a­tions, and pro­cessing and re­cord­ing copy­right in­form­a­tion. Our team cul­ture is built on clear com­mu­nic­a­tion of team pri­or­it­ies, re­spons­ib­il­it­ies, and ex­pect­a­tions, so we al­ways know what we're do­ing and why we're do­ing it.

Re­quire­ments

• You must live and be au­thor­ized to work in the US (any state).
• You must own a com­puter and be fa­mil­i­ar with op­er­at­ing it.
• A re­li­able in­ter­net con­nec­tion which will al­low you to at­tend (mostly au­dio) meet­ings re­motely.
• Abil­ity to read and write in Eng­lish at a pro­fes­sion­al level.
• Abil­ity to main­tain fo­cus while do­ing re­pet­it­ive tasks.
• Task-ori­ented, at­tent­ive to de­tail, and cap­able of prob­lem-solv­ing: You com­plete tasks with a high level of ac­cur­acy. You no­tice when something seems “off” or re­quires fur­ther in­vest­ig­a­tion. You are able to find and syn­thes­ize in­form­a­tion from mul­tiple sources to find the right an­swer to a ques­tion.
• Self dir­ec­ted and self mo­tiv­ated: You make act­ive use of avail­able know­ledge re­sources, in­clud­ing cowork­ers or man­agers. You ac­know­ledge and fix your mis­takes, and use them as learn­ing op­por­tun­it­ies.
• Re­spect for di­verse back­grounds: You work ef­fect­ively with staff and cli­ents from around the world, and who may fa­vor a wide vari­ety of com­mu­nic­a­tion styles. You strive to con­trib­ute to a cul­ture of mu­tu­al trust and re­spect in the work­place.

Not Re­quired, But a Plus

• Fa­mili­ar­ity with aca­demia and aca­dem­ic pub­lish­ing.
• Lan­guage skills out­side of Eng­lish, par­tic­u­larly the abil­ity to read and write Chinese.

We Of­fer

• Re­mote work, flex­ible work hours, and an un­der­stand­ing that we are whole people, and that work is just one part of our lives.
• An or­gan­iz­a­tion that cares about pro­du­cing high qual­ity work, and provid­ing you the re­sources to do so.
• Man­age­ment that act­ively seeks out di­verse per­spect­ives, and a chance to shape com­pany cul­ture and policy as we grow.
• An op­por­tun­ity to work for a mis­sion-driv­en or­gan­iz­a­tion striv­ing to cre­ate equity both in busi­ness mod­el and in­tern­al prac­tices.

About MSP

MSP is a schol­ar-led non­profit pub­lish­er whose mis­sion is to serve the math com­munity through high-qual­ity pub­lish­ing at reas­on­able prices, and help oth­ers do the same. In ad­di­tion to pub­lish­ing our own grow­ing port­fo­lio of 20 journ­als in math­em­at­ics re­search and re­lated areas, we pre­pare art­icles for pub­lic­a­tion for third-party journ­als, de­vel­op soft­ware for man­aging journ­als and peer re­view (Ed­it­Flow), and cel­eb­rate the people of math­em­at­ics (cel­eb­ra­tio.org). Our work is ap­pre­ci­ated by our read­ers, au­thors (msp.org/au­thquotes/), and users (msp.org/ed­it­flow/quotes/).
