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

and related subjects, and Chinese language acquisition and teaching.

field; fluency in (Mandarin) Chinese and English; experience managing a Chinese
program for U.S. undergraduates; scholarly publications; college teaching
experience with positive teaching evaluations.
- For Associate: As for Assistant, but with a minimum of five years college
experience at the Assistant level, plus a record of scholarly publications and
administrative experience appropriate for an Associate Professor.

Salary: Assistant: $50-55,000, Associate: $55-65,000, both depending on
