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/jobnet.html.

This page has been set up so that people can report on the employment
standards of various countries.

The Department of Linguistics and Germanic, Slavic, Asian and African
Languages at Michigan State University will make a fixed-term

language variation and other areas of mainstream linguistic research
are combined. Specific duties will include teaching 1) an introductory
sociolinguistics course at the advanced undergraduate - beginning
graduate level, 2 ) a large undergraduate TA-supported course in
language in culture and society, 3) an advanced seminar in
sociolinguistics, and 4) two sections of introductory general
linguistics.

Although the specific area of research specialization is open, we
require expertise in quantitative methods in the study of language
variation and change. PhD by time of appointment.
