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.

Guidelines for applications:
http://www.rug.nl/let/onderzoek/onderzoekinstituten/clcg/positions/
These guidelines should be used for writing your application for a research
position leading to a PhD in our Graduate School. All positions are for a
period of four years, on the condition of a positive evaluation after 18
months.
The goal of the application format is twofold:
1. It will enable us to judge the merit of the topic which you wish to
study in relation to the goals of the specific research programme within
the field of linguistics.
2. It will enable us to compare the relative merits of the applicants
efficiently and with a minimum of bias.
Please respect these guidelines. Applications that do not follow this
format will be rejected.
Your application should consist of the following elements in the following
order:
1. A letter of application
2. A curriculum vitae, including date and place of birth, the name of your
secondary school, and (if applicable) list of academic publications
3. A certified copy of your diploma ('doctorandus' or MA degree, or an
equivalent) and your academic record and grades
4. Two academic references
5. A research project proposal of no more than three pages (plus figures
and references).
Our most important question in evaluating project sketches is always: will
this project contribute to our scientific understanding of language? To
determine this we want to know whether an important question is addressed,
and whether there is a reasonable strategy for finding an answer.
See for more requirements regarding the sketch:
