LINGUIST List 22.4112 Thu Oct 20 2011 Jobs: Computational Ling: Scientist, Decisive Analytics Corporation Editor for this issue: Kristen Dunkinson <kristenlinguistlist.org> The LINGUIST List strongly encourages employers to engage in non-discriminatory hiring practices. We urge employers not to discriminate on the grounds of race, ethnicity, nationality, disability, 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.
