The Voice of America is actively seeking applications for work in Tibetan language broadcating. Applicants should be fluent in Tibetan.

Other desirable qualifications include: fluency in Chinese, fluency in English, a good speaking voice, higher education, journalistic experience, knowledge of Tibetan affairs, and word-processing and Internet skills. Personal qualities that would be a plus include: perseverance, attention to detail, disciplined work habits, initiative, flexibility, calmness under pressure, creativity, and a sense of humor.

Work will include reporting, researching, and composing stories using a variety of written and oral sources. Work will also include voicing, recording, and editing material, and producing stories for broadcast to Tibetan-speaking regions of Asia.

Work will be assigned to individuals acting as independent contractors, not as VOA employees. Most work will be in the Washington, DC area.

Those interested should have a U.S. work permit or be a U.S. citizen.
