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

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.

Description:

Short-term Prosody Annotation Contract

A joint project between Stanford University and the University of 
Edinburgh is looking for a prosodic annotator. The applicant must be a
native speaker of English and be willing  to work off-site with minimal
supervision. Prior training in the ToBI intonation annotation system
required;  applicants must be able to annotate data using a cut-down
version  of ToBi without extensive further training. Unfortunately, because
 of visa restrictions, you must be a US citizen working in the US.  We are
looking for a minimum commitment of 10-20hrs/week, to start  as soon as
possible. Depending on the hours worked, we anticipate  the contract to be
for 2-3 months. If you are interested please contact Jason Brenier
