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 Maryland Center for Advanced Study of Language (CASL),

results 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

to use foreign language skills in a wide variety of government professions
and situations and improving the quality of human language technology.
CASL is seeking to expand its research team in the area of analysis of Less

professionals - to improve their performance.
Candidates must have an earned PhD in Linguistics, Arabic Studies or a
related field with a focus on Arabic, a record of individual research
achievement in Arabic language and linguistics, and a strong record of
publication. The center is seeking people who will play a leading role in
the strategic direction of CASL and will participate in multiple research
projects in their field. Candidates' research and publications should
demonstrate the ability to conduct complex, interdisciplinary research and
to work collaboratively with a range of institutions and researchers.
Appointments to CASL are as a research faculty member of the University of
Maryland. Exceptional candidates with national standing may be considered
for tenure-track appointments on a limited, case-by-case basis, and subject
to availability of tenure lines in relevant departments.
