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.

Job Rank: Assistant/Associate/Senior Research Scientist

Description:
The Center for Advanced Study of Language (CASL), a university-affiliated
research center located at the University of Maryland, was established in
2003 under a renewable five-year contract. Its mission is to conduct
state-of-the-art research in areas that result in improved performance on
language tasks relevant to the work of government language professionals.
Work done at the center focuses on improving knowledge of less commonly
taught languages, enhancing the acquisition and maintenance of foreign
language capability by government professionals (especially at the advanced
levels), advancing the capacity to use foreign language skills in a wide
variety of government professions and situations, and improving the quality
of human language technology.
CASL seeks a linguist with specialization in an area of Arabic linguistic
analysis. Domains of interest include structure of Arabic (standard
Arabic, or an Arabic dialect), Arabic dialectology, anthropological
linguistics, sociolinguistics or corpus linguistics. The candidate will
develop and participate in research projects that enable government
employees - especially foreign language professionals - to improve their
performance on the job, or will conduct research which helps develop
improved language training techniques for Arabic.
Candidates must have an earned Ph.D. in Linguistics with a focus on Arabic,
a linguistically-related Arabic studies discipline, or a related field,
possess a record of individual research achievement in at least one of the
areas specified above, a strong record of publication, and the ability to
establish an interdisciplinary research program across areas related to the
study of language and analysis. Candidates are preferred whose research
and publications show evidence of ability to tackle complex,
interdisciplinary research and to work collaboratively with a range of
institutions and researchers. Senior candidates may also be interested in
applying for the position of Area Director for Less Commonly Taught
Languages and should consult that advertisement. Candidates must hold U.S.
citizenship and be willing to obtain a security clearance. For information
