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

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.

social, cognitive, ecological or cross-cultural approaches to human
psychology. Candidates should have, or anticipate, a PhD and the potential
to develop a strong, externally funded research programme with
opportunities for undergraduate and graduate participation. New Faculty are
eligible for funding in support of research and scholarly activities.

of completed applications will begin by December 1, 2007 and continue until
