Job Opening at the Arab West Report
May 5, 2012
We have an immediate opening for the position of Senior Translator/Editor (Arabic to English and English to Arabic) at the Center for Intercultural Dialogue and Translation (CIDT) in Cairo, Egypt.
Egypt is going through an important transitional period. CIDT plays a role in this transition by
continuing to contribute accurate reporting and media monitoring, as well as developing peace-building projects that help build bridges between Muslims and Christians, both in Egypt and abroad.
We are looking for qualified applicants who are able to carry out the following tasks:
- Choosing relevant news and opinion articles from Egyptian newspapers to be translated, based on AWR selection criteria.
- Translating and editing news reports and opinion articles from Arabic to English and English to Arabic, and publishing these on our website.
- Producing daily media overviews, while making links to previous reports as needed.
- Recruiting and supervising qualified translation interns and freelance translators to support the translation work in our office.
For more information about this position, see our full job description. While this position is available to both Egyptians and non-Egyptians, a thorough command of both English and Arabic is required.
Please respond before May 15, 2012. Work ideally starts June 1, 2012.
We look forward to receiving your application!
Sincerely,
The Arab West Group
