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.

Applications are invited from enthusiastic graduates to take part in a
new and innovative enterprise to create Voice Technology Resources for
Welsh and Irish. This is a joint project with Trinity College, Dublin,

and development of Welsh oral corpora; annotate oral corpora to
standards developed for the project; take part in training events and
workshops with voluntary bodies and small software companies; and also
assist with developing text applications to voice for the project.

The appointee will have a first class or upper second class honours
degree in Welsh, Linguistics or a similar subject and will have an
interest in voice technology and language technology, or a degree in
Computer Science with a strong interest in phonetics/language
technology.  He/she will be fluent in Welsh, ideally with a thorough
knowledge of Welsh phonetics and good transcription skills.  A
knowledge of Irish would also be an advantage, and an interest in
voice technology and/or computer linguistics in the Celtic
languages. Consideration will also be given to candidates with degrees
in other subjects who have the necessary skills and who wish to
develop a long term career in Celtic language technology or computer
linguistics.

The appointee will commence in the post as soon as possible and
continue in post until the end of 2005.
