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

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.

An interdisciplinary project studying human speech production has an
opening for a Research Associate. We will study the rules that people use
to pronounce new words and, more generally, to understand the mechanisms
involved in pronunciation. The project involves non-invasive experiments on
human subjects, acoustic measurements of speech, speech recognition, and
signal processing. The project is an extensive test of exemplar models,
primarily as applied to speech production. We seek applicants with
experience relevant to one or more of these areas. Completion of the
requirements for a relevant doctoral degree by the start date is required.

The principal duties of the postholder will be: (i) Recruiting and managing
subjects; (ii) participating in experimental design and stimulus
generation; (iii) data collection, documentation and data management; and
(iv) participating in the data analysis. The postholder will be expected to
contribute to scientific publications.

The appointment is anticipated to be for 31 months, with an anticipated
start date of 01 September 2008. Salary will be dependent on skills and
