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

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/jobs/jobnet.html. This page has been set 
up so that people can report on the employment standards of various countries.

In the area of Cognitive Neuroscience the School has a strong research group of

development as well as in perception, attention, memory, object recognition,
emotion, ageing, consumer choice, clinical neuroscience, and the control of
action; it is now seeking to further strengthen the areas of language and
development. Researchers in the School use multiple and varied approaches to the
study of cognitive neuroscience including experimental and observational studies
of behaviour, patient populations, ERP, TMS, and fMRI. The School enjoys the
highest research rating that can be obtained in the UK (RAE 5*) as well as the
highest teaching rating ('Excellent'). The Centre for Cognitive Neuroscience is
located within a modern purpose-built facility, The Brigantia Building, which
will provide accommodation for a 3T magnet. The University of Wales, Bangor is
