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.

NORMS and the University of Tromsø invite applications for several research
positions in Scandinavian microcomparative syntax.
NORMS is a Nordic Center of Excellence, which is directed from CASTL in
Tromsø by Peter Svenonius and Øystein Alexander Vangsnes, involving the
following seven institutions (listing from West to East):
- The University of Iceland, Reykjavík (contact person Höskuldur

- The Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), Trondheim

jannebjiln.uio.no)
- Lund University (contact person Christer Platzack,

- The University of Tromsø (contact person Øystein Alexander Vangsnes,
oystein.vangsneshum.uit.no)
- The University of Helsinki (contact person Jan-Ola Östman,
Jan-Ola.Ostmanhelsinki.fi)
NORMS is jointly funded by NOS-HS, NordForsk, and by the seven partner
institutions. It is a five-year investigation into microcomparative
variation in the syntax of dialects across the Scandinavian language
continuum, and it operates closely with the Scandinavian Dialect Syntax
Project ('ScanDiaSyn') and with other European partners. For further
information about NORMS please consult the homepages.
Contingent on funding and administrative approval, approximately four to
six positions are expected to be awarded for one to one and a half years
each, with an anticipated starting date in spring or early fall 2009. The
positions will be distributed around the NORMS network, with special
consideration being given to NTNU in Trondheim. Applicants should indicate
clearly in their applications which of the above seven institutions they
wish to be based at. The positions will have salaries and benefits similar
to that of a post-doctoral researcher at the relevant institution.
