  • Work on materials, including but not limited to: 
    • Early Sikh literature 
    • Court poetry, manuscripts, and historical narratives 
  • Ensure translations preserve:
    • Linguistic nuance and poetic structure where relevant
    • Historical and cultural context
    • Gurmat perspective on Sikh history
  • Flag ambiguous or contested passages and collaborate on interpretation
  • Ensure adherence to project-wide translation standards, maintain consistency in terminology across texts and time periods.

  • Strong command of English with the ability to produce clear and readable prose
