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 QNRF project "Baseline Data for Arabic Acquisition

invites applications for a full-time postdoctoral Senior

"Baseline Data for Arabic Acquisition with Clinical
Applications", which began in Fall 2009, is an extensive

Health. Project website is at http://lughataltefel.qu.edu.qa.
The project is multi-institutional and international. The
overall goal is to amass an extensive new body of
knowledge about normal Arabic first language acquisition
and make it available on the internet. The new online
material will be used by linguistic researchers for a
fuller understanding of language acquisition as a human
cognitive capacity, enabling them to answer several
critical questions which till now have been unanswerable
due to lack of data. The new online material will also
provide speech-language pathologists working with
Arabic-speaking children with crucial resources that till
now are lacking, to improve the quality of life of the
children they work with and their families.
Required qualifications include a PhD in First Language
Acquisition, Speech-Language Pathology, or Psychology;
IT proficiency; experience with Statistics; experience on
a research team; experience in research project
management; native competency in oral and written
Arabic; and near-native competency in oral and written
English. Primary responsibilities include managing a
vibrant team of research assistants in Doha, liaising with
the project's Qatari and international collaborators, data
analysis, and other research-related duties.
