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

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.

Applicants are invited to indicate areas in addition to language teaching
in which they are most equipped to contribute to the current and future
teaching of the Department.

The position is full-time and continuing (subject to the completion of a
satisfactory probation period) and is available from 1 January 2009.
