Serbian Interpreter (PEARL) - HRO 429

Consultancy Position, total duration of 11 days between February 23, 2024 and March 29, 2024, based in Kosovo

Integrity is leading the Peacebuilding, Evaluation, Analysis, Research, and Learning (PEARL) Activity for the USAID Bureau for Conflict Prevention and Stabilization’s Center for Conflict and Violence Prevention (CPS/CVP).

Through PEARL, Integrity is conducting a Violence and Conflict Assessment (VCA) for USAID/Kosovo. Evolving conflict dynamics between Kosovo-Serbian and Kosovo-Albanian communities are currently impacting USAID reconciliation activities and the broader Mission portfolio in Kosovo. Therefore, the findings and recommendations from this assessment will impact USAID/Kosovo’s approach to current and future reconciliation activities led by the Democracy and Governance Office (DGO).

The assessment will also analyze institutional and systemic factors, social patterns and historical grievances that continue to prevent the full engagement of Kosovo’s multiethnic society in the political process.
Integrity is recruiting an experienced translator who is available beginning in February 2024.

The consultant will act as a part-time Serbian–English translator and interpreter for the project. This will require knowledge and practical experience of translating relevant official and unofficial documents and reports, strong interpersonal skills, and simultaneous interpretation during interviews. This is a Short-Term Technical Assistance (STTA) position based in Kosovo.

Closing date for applications: 12 February 2024. However, we will review candidates on a rolling basis and the vacancy may be filled before this deadline. We encourage early applications. Applications without a tailored cover letter will not be considered.
