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

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.

research, teaching, and advising mission at the graduate and undergraduate
levels.
 
Applicants should submit a letter of application, curriculum vitae, copies
of research papers, evidence of teaching ability, and three letters of

Departmental representatives will be present at the LSA meeting in Chicago
