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

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.

We are looking for two computational linguists to join the development team

computational Linguists will join a small, highly motivated team that works
with passion, patience, and lots of smarts on continually improving a
leading machine-translation technology.

This opening is located in SDL's Nashua, NH, office.

Successful candidates must be authorized to work in the U.S. and will meet
the following requirements:

SDL International is the leader in global information management solutions
that empower organizations to accelerate the delivery of high-quality
multilingual content to global markets. But enough of the marketing drivel:
For us as developers, being part of SDL means that our work reaches many,
many people, from the company's own terminologists, post-editors, and
project managers to the millions of users of FreeTranslation.com. If you
meet the above requirements, are smart, flexible, and really good at
Boggle, this might be the job for you.
