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

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

working on any aspect of language structure, history, or context.  Under
either rubric, applicants should have a broad intellectual engagement with
the field of linguistics, a theoretically informed and empirically grounded
research specialization, and demonstrated excellence in teaching.  We are
