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.

The linguist will provide expertise in phonetics to tune dictionaries
for text-to-speech synthesis.  S/he will also be responsible for tuning
extensive grammars for understanding names and movie/video game/titles.
This tuning will involve tuning speech recognition grammars.  The
company has on-going development of Natural Language Protocols, and a
linguist with a computational linguistics background would contribute to
advancing these protocols, e.g. intelligent searches of movie titles
(for which the company currently maintains a version of a solution).

NetByTel is the leader in Voice Enables E-business solutions with a
telephony platform incorporating advanced speech recognition technology
and call-flow design methodologies, with a focus on Human Factors
analysis of caller experiences.  Linguistics bridges the gap between
Human Factors and Speech Recognition Engineering.

Programming experience in C++ and Perl a plus.  There are full-time
opportunities in development currently.
