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.

Description:
The Dept of Linguistics at the University of Maryland is looking to fill up
to 3 full-time positions for post-baccalaureate researchers. Starting date
for all positions is summer or fall 2009. Salary is competitive, benefits
included. The positions are ideal for individuals with a B.A. who are
interested in gaining significant research experience in a very active lab
as preparation for a research career. Applicants must be US or Canadian
citizens or permanent residents, and should have completed a B.A. or B.S.
degree by the time of appointment. Previous experience in linguistics is
required, and relevant research experience is preferred.
Applicants may request to be considered for all positions. Review of
applications for all positions will begin immediately, and will continue
until the positions are filled. For best consideration, apply by April 20th.
Position #1: Research Assistant in Psycholinguistics/Cognitive Neuroscience
This person will take a leading role in research projects in
psycholinguistics and cognitive neuroscience of language. The person will
be involved in all aspects of the design, testing and analysis of studies
of language comprehension in adults, using behavioral and neuroscientific
techniques, including ERP and MEG brain recordings (training provided). The
person will also play a key role in the management of an active lab group.
Previous experience in linguistics and/or psycholinguistics is preferred.
The ability to interact comfortably with a wide variety of people (and
machines) is a distinct advantage. The position is for a one year initial
appointment, with the possibility of extension. For more information
contact Dr. Colin Phillips, colinumd.edu.
Positions #2-#3: Baggett Research Fellowships 2009-2010
One-year Baggett Fellowships are full-time positions intended for
individuals with a B.A. or B.S. degree who are interested in gaining
research experience in an active interdisciplinary environment before
pursuing graduate study in some area of linguistics or cognitive science.
One or two fellowship positions are available for the 2010-2011 year.
Salary is competitive, with benefits included.
Applicants for all positions should submit a cover letter (outlining
relevant background and interests, including potential faculty mentors), a
current CV, and names and contact information for 3 potential referees
(letters are not needed as part of the initial application), and a writing
sample. Fuller details at http://www.ling.umd.edu/baggett. All application
materials should be submitted electronically to Jeff Lidz (see contact
information below). NOTE: Put 'Baggett Fellowship' in the subject line.
Prospective fellows should feel free to send a preliminary letter of
interest to Dr. Lidz or Dr. Phillips.
The Cognitive Neuroscience of Language Lab is a well-integrated community
of over 40 faculty, students and research staff, engaged in research on
many areas of language, ranging from acoustics to semantics, in children
and adults, normal and disordered populations, and covering around 10
languages. The lab has facilities for behavioral testing of infants,
children and adults, two eye-tracking labs, an ERP lab and a whole-head MEG
facility. The lab is affiliated with the Department of Linguistics and with
the Neuroscience and Cognitive Science Program.
The University of Maryland is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunities
Title IX employer. Women and minority candidates are especially encouraged
to apply.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as
such can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered
501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These
donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your state tax return
(U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact
your financial advisor.
Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match
any gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your
