 ==========================================================================
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.

Opportunity to contribute significantly to improvement of

IBM's T.J. Watson Research Center, LMT Group, Yorktown, New York, has
immediate openings for two highly skilled computational linguists who
are native speakers of a Latin American variety of Spanish.  They will
join a multiyear project aimed at significantly raising the quality of
machine translation of English to Spanish, working closely with the
R&D team on IBM's premier translation product:

Successful candidates should have completed graduate work in

linguistic ideas and generalizations formally in a computational
linguistic system.  Experience with machine translation is desirable,
