The Department “Artifacts, Action, Knowledge” studies the history of knowledge and action considering the changing role of artifacts: texts, objects, and spaces. Our research collectively examines the processes and structures by which people grappled with the materiality of existence. Through the analysis of everyday actions, we interrogate the boundaries and intersections between the inner workings of objects and all domains of life. Together these approaches allow us to pursue inquiries into historical epistemologies of action. For more detailed information, please visit the department website.

Your responsibilities:
  • Take a leading role in shaping the linguistic and editorial quality of the department’s publications, and provide high-level academic editing for publications in the history of science, technology, and related fields
  • Copyediting, developmental editing, proofreading, formatting according to publishers’ style sheets, creation of bibliographies for academic texts in English and a second language as applicable (for example: Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Italian, or Japanese
  • The setting up and day-to-day management of academic publication projects, including editorial work for English-language collective volumes and journal issues (in cooperation with student assistants)
  • Translate and edit academic texts between English and a second language, and verify multilingual references, including entries in footnotes and bibliographies.
  • Correspondence with authors, publishers, and institutions such as libraries and archives
  • Editing of English texts, e.g., for the website of the department, its in-house publications, calls for papers/conferences, and other communications
  • Image research and the acquisition of digital files, licenses, and permissions
Your profile:
  • MA degree in humanities or social sciences, ideally in the history of science/technology, history, STS, regional studies, or related fields
  • A very good command of a second language, preferably Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Italian, or Japanese
  • Experience in editorial tasks, translations, and management in an academic publishing environment
  • Very good command of office software for text processing, formatting, and manuscript organization, including reference management software
  • Outstanding editorial judgment, deep familiarity with academic communication, and the ability to work with complex, interdisciplinary research materials
  • Experience in indexing is highly desirable
  • Exceptional attention to detail balanced with the ability to prioritize and delegate duties in a deadline-driven environment
  • Ability to work in a team as a dedicated, reliable, and creative colleague with a genuine interest in academic research
What we offer:
  • flexible working hours; the opportunity to work from home as arranged with your superior; the opportunity to work part-time
  • annual year-end bonus; occupational pension (VBL); subsidy for public transportation within Berlin or Germany (“Jobticket”); paid leave on Christmas Eve (December 24) and New Year’s Eve (December 31) in addition to regular annual leave
  • weekly in-house yoga classes; regular information on occupational health management courses offered by our partner health insurance companies
