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

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:

The Department of Linguistics at Memorial University of Newfoundland
invites applications for a tenure-track position at the Assistant Professor
level in language variation and change. 

The successful applicant will be expected to teach at both undergraduate
and graduate levels in sociolinguistics and language variation, and should
demonstrate an ability to teach at the advanced undergraduate level in one
or more of the following areas:  
language and gender, language contact, linguistic anthropology, and
language policy and planning.  

In addition, a demonstrated research interest in theoretical interface
