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

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.

Description:

Ordinate Corporation is seeking bright, self-motivated candidates to develop
language performance assessments.  Candidates should have a graduate degree in
linguistics, computational linguistics, or experimental psychology (an emphasis
on Phonetics/Phonology or speech production/perception is a plus), and at least
two years of experience working in industry.  Ideal candidates will be able to
manage projects independently, especially the design, execution, and description
of human experimental investigations.  The position requires excellent interpersonal
skills and written communication skills.  Fluency in more than one language is
preferred. Exposure to educational assessment, test development, and/or speech
recognition technology is also a plus.

Ordinate Corporation develops spoken language tests that are automatically
administered and scored using speech recognition technology.  The test
development group is responsible for designing reliable and valid language tests
based on theories in linguistics and psychology, and informed by an
understanding of automatic speech recognition.  Duties include writing test
specifications, creating test items, designing validation experiments,
recruiting participants, analyzing data, writing technical reports, managing
consultants, presenting research results, and working closely with other groups
in the company.
