The LINGUIST List depends on the generous contributions from

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.

Description:

Overture (www.overture.com) is looking for one Swedish and one
Norwegian lexicographer or linguist to help us with a 3-4 week
project. We are developing rules and datasets for our Scandinavian
search engine. The rules and datasets include components such as
stopwords, prefix stripping rules, and mapping plurals and
misspellings to a singular, correctly spelled form.

The hourly rate is $25-35, depending on experience, and the project
will involve approximately 120 hours of work in total.

The ideal candidate will:

- be a native speaker familiar with the colloquialisms and popular
  culture of Sweden/Norway
- have past experience in developing similar rules and datasets; or
  extensive past experience in lexicography, translation or corpus
  linguistics
- be comfortable handling large datasets (searching, sorting,
  zipping...)
