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

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.

projects in your field, and provide methodological support for lexica
projects. 

You will hold a university degree in linguistics or a related area, and you
will have professional experience as a lexicographer. You are a German
native speaker, with a good knowledge of foreign languages and a strong
interest in multilingualism. You are interested in the challenge of
applying the findings of linguistic research in  practical settings. You
