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

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.

Dutch, or Finnish, 
-  Proficiency in German, Italian, Portuguese, French, or Spanish is a
definite plus.
-  Excellent general computer literacy;
-  Programming skills (knowledge of Perl, Prolog, or C++);
-  Experience with commercial machine-translation systems and other
translation tools;
-  Experience in grammar and lexicon development;
-  Familiarity with linguistic resources (corpora, grammars, parsers, etc.);
-  Detail-oriented and organized;
-  Excellent communication skills

We offer competitive salary, a strong benefits package, and a great working
environment.

If your skills and experience match our requirements and if you like the
idea of working on a technology that reaches millions of people and is
helping to redefine an industry, then this could be the job for you.
