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.

The University of Auckland's Faculty of Arts seeks to appoint a Professor

The successful applicant will be expected to enhance these existing

existing strengths in sociolinguistics, conversation analysis, historical
linguistics, language contact, pidgins and creoles, Austronesian languages
and Mandarin to complement and extend the core teaching programme in
phonetics and phonology, morphology, syntax and semantics. Staff in
Linguistics contribute to programmes in Speech Science and in Logic and
