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 School of Languages is a centre of excellence in applied language

that the successful applicant will have an established or emerging research
profile in sociolinguistically informed approaches to language variation
and change, and will have the capacity to supervise PhD students in this
area. Ideally, the successful applicant will also have expertise in one of
the School's modern foreign languages.
- In line with the level at which appointment is made, you will be
expected to contribute to the delivery of our academic portfolio in:
teaching & learning at all levels; research & innovation (with a view to
inclusion in the forthcoming Research Excellence Framework, including
attracting and supervising research students, and successfully bidding for
research funding); and external engagement activities in line with our
strategic priorities. In addition, you will be expected to make a
contribution to school administration and, for the more senior appointment,
management and leadership.
The appointments will be full time and permanent.
