Historical Evidence & Interpretation Evaluator

Your work at IXO

Develop IXO history scenarios that test source criticism, context and causal reasoning.

Responsibilities

• Construct problems around primary evidence and competing explanations.
• Write reference interpretations showing what the evidence supports and what remains uncertain.
• Evaluate historical accuracy, context and awareness of relevant scholarship.
• Identify invented causal links, flattened evidence and anachronistic assumptions.
• Document the reasoning so another specialist can assess the conclusion.

Required experience and preparation

An advanced degree in history or a closely related discipline and at least two years of relevant teaching, research, archival or published historical work are required. Bring depth in a period or region supported by primary-source experience, clear written English and availability for at least ten hours per week.

Preferred experience

A PhD, publications, archival or public-history practice, or relevant research-language reading.

Pay is $55 $105/hr in USD. IXO will agree the scope, deliverables and schedule before work begins.
