Although the tone of the overall website suggests it is for trade books, or a non-academic market, if you search "Editors and Writers by Genre/Subject," and then scroll through the lists (see especially "Nonfiction," "Ethnic/Sociology" and "Political Science"), you'll find some editors who have experience editing academic writing and/or scientific and technical writing.

I can make no direct recommendations of these editors, but it's a very comprehensive list. A colleague at UNC-Chapel Hill works with faculty who've used editor(s) found at this site.
