The United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP) invites applications from qualified Russian-English interpreters to provide simultaneous interpretation into English from Russian, and preferably also from French.
Qualified candidates will be placed on a roster to be recruited on an ad hoc basis to service specific meetings and conferences. Candidates must be based in Thailand or in the Asia-Pacific region, must have a diploma from a recognized interpretation school, or a university degree or qualification from an institution of equivalent status, at least five years of internationally recognized professional interpreting experience, and excellent knowledge of Russian and French.
