 ==========================================================================
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 http://linguistlist.org/jobnet.html.

This page has been set up so that people can report on the employment
standards of various countries.

Ergo Linguistic Technologies is about to expand its question and answer
line of NLP products and are looking for curriculum developers in the areas
of Natural Science, History and Geography.  We would prefer linguists or
language teachers with a secondary background in one of the target areas.
Work may be done as a telecommute.  The work involves developing the
knowledge base for interactive tutors.  To see an example, go to
http://www.ergo-ling.com and review "Roswell Teaches English".  The
immediate task is to create "Roswell Teaches Geography/History/etc."
Complimentary copies of that and other of Ergo's software tools are
available for serious inquiries.

Contact as below for details:
