I am a translator, editor, Yiddishist and manuscript transcriber from Kharkiv, Ukraine, now based in Hamburg.I am looking for a permanent — non-freelance — job here in Hamburg (or elsewhere in Germany, if it's possible to do it remotely from Hamburg, but still as a permanent job) starting from January or February 2023.Here is what I am good at: 1) Translating from: Russian, Ukrainian, Belarusian, English, Polish, French, Yiddish, some German, a bit of Greek into: English, Russian, Ukrainian, Yiddish. I am in the midst of studying German, but I can't translate texts into German just yet. My fields are: history, culture, Jewish studies, anthropology, ethnography, literature, theology, music.2) Deciphering manuscripts (languages: Yiddish, Polish, Russian, Ukrainian. I've worked on a great deal of Yiddish and Polish letters and postcards, as well as other documents.)3) Transcribing and subtitling audio interviews (and movies, too).4) Literary editing.
