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

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.

Scandinavian language, or be willing to learn Norwegian within a reasonable

for research, research-related tasks and research administration, and the
remaining 50% for teaching, teaching-related tasks and administration.

wage scale, code 1011. A compulsory contribution of 2% is made to the
Norwegian State Pension Fund.

Applicants will be evaluated by an expert committee. The main emphasis will
be on assessment of the submitted scholarly works. Teaching qualifications,
popularisation/ dissemination and policy and administration work will also
be considered. 

The University of Tromsø wishes to increase the proportion of female
researchers. In the event that two or more applicants are found to be
approximately equally qualified, female applicants will be given priority.
