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

syntactic parsing, preferably principle-based parsing, Minimalist
Program.  Technical experiences with C/C++ and Unix/Linux on
Sun/Window platforms are preferable. The successful candidate will
join the UQAM research team in collaboration with Princeton, UCLA and
