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

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.

Spanish Government Funded Research Posts 
Department of Translation and Philology
Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Barcelona

The Spanish Ministry of Science & Education (MEC) has published two calls 
for applications for junior research positions for 2005-06: the Ramon y 
Cajal program (PhDs who obtained their PhD degree 10 years ago max.) and 
the Juan de la Cierva (PhDs who obtained their PhD degree 3 years ago 
max.). The prerequisits for the candidates and the conditions of the 
contracts are described in the following pages of MEC (Spanish and 
English) and Universitat Pompeu Fabra (UPF)(Catalan) and are summarized 
on the DTF webpage (http://www.upf.edu/dtf, link at page top):

Prerequisites & conditions Ramon y Cajal:

Prerequisites & conditions Juan de la Cierva:

http://www.upf.edu/rece/convoc/resum/rei2929.htm (in Catalan)

The Department of Translation and Philology (DTF) at Universitat Pompeu 
Fabra plans on being able to incorporate TWO Ramon y Cajal researchers 
working on the areas covered by the Department. DTF  hosts the following
research groups, one of which the successful Ramon y Cajal candidates should join:
- Translation, Reception, and Literature
- Centre for the Study of Translation and Discourse (CEDIT)
- Discourse Studies Group (GED)
- Research Group on Language Learning and Language Teaching (GR at EL)
- Research Group on the Adquisition of Enviromental Languages (ReGAEL)
- Formal Linguistics Research Group (GLIF)
- Computational Linguistics Research Group (GLICOM)

Applications are done directly through the MEC webpage indicated above 
(though the application must be printed later and submitted, along with 
enclosures, in one of the specified manners). The selection process is 
carried out entirely by MEC. Candidates endorsed by MEC will then be able 
to opt for one of the two positions offered by DTF. The deadline for 
submission is April 2, 2005. For additional information, see 
http://www.upf.edu/dtf (link at top of page) or contact Enric Vallduví 
(name.lastname at upf.edu; no accents or capitals). If you plan on 
submitting an application and are interested in joining DTF, please let 
us know through the above address.

The Department of Translation and Philology will also welcome applications from
Juan de la Cierva junior researchers. Their applications and their research must
be connected to one of the following research projects (each project may endorse
only one candidate):
- Integrated architecture for advanced text processing (ARQUITEXT). P.I.: 
Toni Badia 
- Design and impact of tools for the development of strategic competence  in the
learning of foreign languages in a university context (DEICOMECU). P.I.: Olga Esteve
-The 'Stay-abroad Factor' in the acquisition of a foreign language (English).
Short term effects and success variables. Contrast to formal instruction. P.I.:
Carmen Pérez
- Noncanonical constructions in oral discourse: a comparative study  (NOCANDO).
P.I.: Enric Vallduví

Candidates interested in a Juan de la Cierva contract should contact the
principal investigator of the relevant project immediately 
(name.lastname at upf.edu; no accents or capitals), since the actual application is
submitted by UPF. The P.I. must have received all relevant documents (some in
hard copy, some in soft copy; see call info) by March 29, 2005 (before 11:00AM).
