The LINGUIST List strongly encourages employers to use
non-discriminatory standards in hiring policy. In particular we urge
that employers do not discriminate on the grounds of race, ethnicity,
nationality, age, religion, gender, or sexual orientation. However, we
have no means of enforcing these standards.
Job seekers should pay special attention to language in ads regarding
employment requirements and are encouraged to consult our international
employment page at http://linguistlist.org/jobs/jobnet.html. This page has been
set up so that people can report on the employment standards of various countries.

Cognitive Systems, which includes collaboration with Edinburgh, Brown, and
Johns Hopkins Universities.
The psycholinguistics group, under the direction of Prof. Matthew Crocker,
is actively engaged in both experimental and computational modeling
research into sentence comprehension. The research places particular
emphasis on 'situated' language processing. Further information on the
groups activities can be found at:
