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

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 Modern and Classical Languages and Literatures at the

tertiary JSL teaching experience will also be considered. Candidates must
also exhibit native or near-native fluency in Japanese and English and have
documentation of excellence in teaching. A specialization in JSL pedagogy

interests) is also satisfactory. Courses to be taught include Japanese
language (Beginning and Intermediate levels, using the Yookoso! textbook),
and one elective in the applicant's field of interest and expertise.
Qualified applicants should send materials (a letter of interest, current
curriculum vitae, graduate transcript, three letters of reference, two of
which must address teaching ability, and a videotape, at least 15 minutes
long, showing teaching in a Japanese language class) to Robert W. Acker, Chair.

Review of applications will begin on Mar. 1, 2008, and continue until the
position is filled. The University of Montana is an EOE/Affirmative Action
employer. This position announcement can be made available in alternative
