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.

Pending budgetary approval, the Department of Linguistics at the University

We invite applications from linguists specializing in the social or

applicants whose research involves quantitative analysis, corpus work,
documentary linguistics, or other new methodologies.
Applications should include a curriculum vitae, representative work, and
evidence of excellence in teaching; three letters of recommendation should
also be sent. (Please direct referees to
