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.

Research Chair.  The Cognitive Science Program is administered jointly
by an interdisciplinary Steering Committee, with its home in the
Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences. Simon Fraser University is
situated on Burnaby Mountain in Greater Vancouver.

Vancouver thrives as a scenic waterfront city located just minutes
away from the mountains and a wide range of outdoor activities.
Vancouver's cultural and intellectual pursuits, leisure
opportunities, favorable climate, and clean and safe environment are
consistently cited as quality of life factors that make it one of the
most desirable places in the world to live and work.
