Remote job

SHP aims to make history open-access, to offer synthesis and a Gurmat-based approach to historical analysis for deeper and more nuanced understandings.

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.
