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.

student organization hosts an annual student conference. The Department is
also in the process of building its undergraduate offerings, which
currently includes a linguistics minor. The Department also includes the
English Language Institute, which offers intensive English instruction at
various levels. Successful candidates must demonstrate a coherent research
agenda, evidence of success and continued promise in publishing in this
area, ability to supervise graduate students, and ability to teach
undergraduate and graduate courses, particularly in areas of second
language pedagogy. Applications from members of underrepresented groups are
especially encouraged.
The University of Texas at Arlington is a doctoral, research-intensive
public institution of over 25,000 students located in the heart of the
