================================================================

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:

Post doc position Bantu (two years) for the NWO program project 'Word order
and morphological marking in Bantu', which aims at analyzing Bantu word
order variation from three perspectives: (a) the relationship between word
order variation and subject- and object-markings on the verb; (b) the
relationship between word order variation and the conjoint/disjoint verb
forms; and (c) the relationship between word order variation and the
formation of interrogative sentences with question words. These correspond
to three projects: (a) & (b) are PhD projects and (c) is a two-year Post doc
project.

The current search is for the Post doc project.  We are looking for a
Post doc who fits the following profile:

1.  A recent doctoral degree (obtained not more than 5 years ago)
2.  Doctoral dissertation on the syntax of a Bantu language
3.  Experience in doing field work

To apply, please send your CV, 2 representative articles and 2
recommendation letters to the address below.
