 ==========================================================================
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.

Postdoctoral Fellowship for Sawyer Seminar on "The Range of
Contemporary Literacy: The Circulation of Poetry," focusing especially
but not exclusively on African American, Korean, German, Russian, and
East European poetry. This seminar will concentrate on questions of
contemporary literacy, socio-linguistics, the public roles of art, and
the engagement of literary intellectuals in liberal democracies and in
autocratic regimes. This residential fellowship lasts from
mid-September 2001 to mid-June 2002, and offers a stipend of $35,000.

There is no application form, but applicants should submit copies of
the following documents: a c.v., a chapter-length piece of work, and a
statement of purpose (no longer than five double-spaced pages)
describing their research project, intellectual trajectory, and the
relationship of both to the Seminar's theme. They should also ask
three referees to submit letters of recommendation.  Application
materials are due by March 30, 2001, and should be sent to the Sawyer
Seminar on Poetry, The Franke Institute for the Humanities at The
University of Chiago, 1100 East 57th Street, JRL S-102, Chicago,
