<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><font><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><span lang="EN-GB">Mouseion is a new venture supporting quality education in the humanities
and social sciences. It is part of a suite of initiatives set up by
philanthropist, businessman and London School of Economics alumnus Salah Khalil
with the goal of fostering the development of critically-aware,
democratically-inclined citizens in the Global South.</span><span></span></span></font></p><font><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">

</span></font><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><font><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><span lang="EN-GB">Mouseion’s contribution will be to produce an innovative library of
textual and audiovisual materials that illuminate seminal texts in 14 social
sciences and humanities: </span><span lang="EN-GB">Anthropology, Archaeology,
Business, Economics, Geography, History, History of Art, Law, Literature and
Classics, Philosophy, Politics and Government, Psychology, Sociology, </span><span lang="EN-GB">and </span><span lang="EN-GB">Theology.</span></span></font></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><font><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><span lang="EN-GB"><br>

</span></font><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><font><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><span lang="EN-GB">We are now recruiting PhD researchers, post-doctoral researchers and
early career academics who are currently studying, or have studied at a global
top university (see list: </span><span lang="EN-US"><a href="http://www.mouseion.com/en/home/leading-universities/" target="_blank"><span lang="EN-GB">http://www.mouseion.com/en/home/leading-universities/</span></a></span><span lang="EN-GB">) to produce the critical commentaries of seminal texts that will form
the core of this library. The topics of the Geography texts we are
commissioning are linked to evolutionary game theory, evolutionary biology,
geographical ecology, plate tectonics, sustainable development, environmental
scarcity and impacts, overpopulation, natural resources their conservation and
management, climate change impacts and cartography.</span></span></font></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><font><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><br><span lang="EN-GB"></span><span lang="EN-US"></span></span></font></p>

</span></font><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><font><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><span lang="EN-GB">We pay by work completed, our rates are competitive and we have work
available now. </span></span></font><font><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><span lang="EN-GB">The rate of pay starts at £2000 per analysis increasing with each
subsequent analysis written until the 5th analysis at which point the
rate of pay remains the same. The critical commentaries will follow a template we have
devised, and completing one should take the equivalent of 15 working days (less
for those who are already familiar with the text they write on, or who have
experience in writing in non-academic contexts). Work is done from your own
home or office. We offer flexible deadlines, generally some months in advance,
that allow work to be fitted around your other commitments, but we also welcome
applications from academics with more time and flexibility – several of our
most valued associates are using Mouseion commissions to help fund an ongoing
job search.</span></span></font></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><font><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><span lang="EN-GB"><br></span></span></font></p><font><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">

belief in the transformative power of knowledge, and a desire to explain a
seminal text in their field to an intelligent lay audience. Candidates should
also be organised, and able to deliver high-quality material on time while
working independently and remotely. </span></span></font></p><font><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">
