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

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.

Description:

The Department of Linguistics at the University of California, Santa Cruz
announces the opening of two tenure-track positions, one of which can be made at
the mid-Associate Professor level (with tenure) and the other at the Assistant
Professor level (non-tenure).

The department is hiring in two areas: 1) Formal Semantics/Pragmatics, 
2) Experimental Linguistics.  For the latter, we are seeking a linguist whose
research-program is rooted in experimental methodologies and who uses those
methodologies in exploring issues in linguistic theory.

The successful candidates will complement existing strengths in the department
but will also add to those strengths in substantive ways. They will also
contribute breadth and depth to the undergraduate and graduate curricula.

The department has PhD and MA programs in theoretical linguistics focused on
syntax, semantics, and phonology, and sponsors two undergraduate majors. 
Further information about the department, its faculty, students, and programs is
available on our website.

The campus is especially interested in candidates who can contribute to the
diversity and excellence of the academic community through their research,
teaching, and service, and it particularly values those who can play leadership
roles in pursuing the goal of increasing diversity within the campus community.
