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

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.

The Program in English Language/Linguistics in the Department of English,
University of Arizona, invites applications for a full-time tenure-track

applications from women and underrepresented minorities. The Department is
located within the College of Humanities, which also includes Africana
Studies and East Asian Studies, as well as other language departments. The

English Department and the EL/L program seek to expand our work with
underrepresented cultures and under served constituencies.

Additional Minimum Qualifications:
- Evidence of effective, innovative, and theoretically informed teaching
- Demonstration of a highly promising trajectory in research and publication
- Expertise in current and emerging technologies (e.g. Web 2.0, Second
Life, CAVE, Statistical NLP) and best practices in the field of
computer-assisted instruction in ESL/EFL education 
- Experience in the ESL/EFL field 
- PhD by August 2008

Preferred qualifications:
- Familiarity with gaming and virtual reality technologies as applicable to
ESL/EFL education

research and teaching
