PhD Research Consultant Needed – Translation Studies (Arabic & English)

Posted 2 months ago

Worldwide

Summary

I am a second-year PhD student in Translation Studies. My research is a comparative study of an Arabic novel and its English translation. This is an academic research project focused on Translation Studies and does not involve carrying out translation itself. I am looking for an experienced academic consultant who is fluent in both Arabic and English and has a strong academic background in Translation Studies. Ideally, you should hold a Master’s or PhD in Translation Studies (or a closely related field) and have experience with academic research, literary translation, and translation theories. My research draws on established translation theories and approaches, so I am looking for someone who is familiar with scholars and frameworks such as Venuti, Lefevere, Baker, Hermans, Toury, Reiss and Vermeer, and other relevant approaches within Translation Studies. I have already completed my research proposal, developed my thesis outline, and nearly finished my literature review. I am looking for someone who can: * Discuss each chapter with me before I begin writing. * Provide critical feedback on my drafts and help strengthen my arguments. * Suggest relevant literature and theoretical perspectives where appropriate. * Help identify gaps in my analysis and improve the academic quality of my work. * Engage in regular academic discussions to help me prepare for meetings with my supervisor and for my viva. I am looking for a collaborative academic mentor and consultant who can provide constructive guidance throughout the remaining stages of my PhD while ensuring that the research and writing remain my own work. If you have the relevant academic background and experience, I would be happy to hear from you. Please tell me about your qualifications, research experience, and your proposed approach to supporting this project. Thank you.
