QUALIFICATIONS - Native-level fluency and strong writing skills in Tibetan. - Demonstrable experience in literary translation or transcreation, ideally including work that required adapting voice and tone rather than literal translation. - Familiarity with ethics, philosophy, and AI/technology as subject domains preferred. - Strong command of style, tone, and structure appropriate to reflective/literary prose.
