Organizational Unit: Russian Translation Section
Division of Conference and Document Services
Department of Management
Duty Station: Vienna, Austria
Issue Date: 15 March 2011
Application Deadline: 1 May 2011
Type/Duration of Appointment: Fixed term, 3 years (subject to a probationary period of 1 year)

Organizational Setting

One of the main functions assigned to the IAEA by its Statute is to foster the exchange of scientific and technical information and the dissemination of knowledge in the nuclear field among Member States. To enable the effective exchange and dissemination of information relevant to the IAEA's work and mandate between the Secretariat and Member States, the Division of Conference and Document Services coordinates and supports the implementation of these activities for its users and clients, both internal and external, by organizing meetings and conferences, issuing documents in the six official IAEA languages, i.e. Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Russian and Spanish, and preparing and distributing publications.

The Russian Translation Section is one of six Translation Sections in the Division providing translations of a broad range of documents and publications into the official languages. It is responsible for translating documents into Russian. High quality translations are required and often short deadlines have to be met.

Main purpose

As a member of a team led by the Section Head, the incumbent translates and self-revises a range of administrative, legal, economic, scientific and technical texts, particularly in the field of nuclear physics and engineering. The incumbent applies his/her analytical, linguistic and drafting skills to translating and self revising texts. The incumbent checks his/her own work for accuracy, completeness, comprehensibility, style and presentation and is responsible for the quality of the translation of the texts.

Role

The Senior Translator provides accurate, timely and stylistically appropriate translations into Russian of texts written mainly in English for distribution to Member States and/or members of the Secretariat. His/her duties may include revision of translations done by other staff and the planning and coordination of the work of small groups of translators.

Partnerships

The Senior Translator contacts the terminology and reference staff to clarify difficulties arising from texts submitted for translation and other specialist staff elsewhere in the IAEA to discuss the most suitable translation of a term. He/she may have contacts with delegates and counterparts in other organizations.

Functions / Key Results Expected

  • Translate and self-revise texts covering a broad range of scientific, technical, administrative and legal subjects, ensuring that translations are equivalent in meaning and style to the original texts.
  • Research points of terminology, language and subject matter and assist in the development of the central terminology database and reference archive.
  • Provide training and guidance to translators as necessary and deputize for the Section Head when required.

Knowledge, Skills and Abilities

  • Clear and concise style; broad general knowledge; demonstrated aptitude for technical and general translation work.
  • Some knowledge of scientific and technical subjects, particularly in the nuclear field, and the ability (not necessarily with a formal scientific background) to grasp scientific problems and handle difficult technical material.
  • Familiarity with the IAEA and its operations would be regarded as an asset.
  • Ability to train and provide guidance to translators.
  • Ability to interact effectively with internal and external counterparts.
  • Ability to work under pressure, using the latest technology and methods, while maintaining high levels of production and quality.
  • Skill and initiative in researching points of terminology, language and subject matter.

Education, Experience and Language Skills

  • University degree in languages or in a technical or scientific field.
  • Russian as mother tongue or principal language of education, with a profound knowledge of its grammar, style and usage.
  • Very thorough knowledge of English is essential. Knowledge of at least one other official IAEA language (Arabic, Chinese, French or Spanish) would be an advantage.
  • Knowledge and experience in using Microsoft Office software and IT translation tools, in particular SDL TRADOS Workbench and SDL TRADOS Multiterm.
  • At least seven years of relevant experience, of which at least four should have been with an international organization, public sector or non-profit organization or equivalent.
  • Experience in supervising small teams of translators would be an asset.

Remuneration

The IAEA offers an attractive remuneration package including a tax-free annual net base salary starting at US $67 395 (subject to mandatory deductions for pension contributions and health insurance), a variable post adjustment which currently amounts to US $41 448*, dependency benefits, rental subsidy, education grant, relocation and repatriation expenses; 6 weeks' annual vacation, home leave, pension plan and health insurance.
