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.

graduate course in their area of research.
The Postdoctoral Teaching Fellow will teach 3 three-credit courses during

with the supervision of graduate students. The appointment runs for 12
months, starting at a date to be negotiated between July 1 and September 1,
2007. Applicants should have a PhD in linguistics by the start date of the
appointment, and must have completed the Ph.D. within the 3 years before
the start of the appointment. The salary is $40,000 (Canadian), plus

Any applicant whose materials are received by February 28, 2007 is
