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 University of Maryland Center for Advanced Study of Language (CASL),
established in 2003, is the nation's 10th university-affiliated research
center. Its mission is to conduct state-of-the-science research that
results in improved performance on language tasks relevant to the work of
government language professionals. Work done at the center focuses on
improving knowledge of less commonly taught languages, enhancing the
acquisition and maintenance of foreign language capability by government
professionals (especially at the advanced levels), advancing the capacity
to use foreign language skills in a wide variety of government professions
and situations and improving the quality of human language technology.

CASL is seeking to expand its research team in the analysis of Less
Commonly Taught Languages, particularly Arabic, Chinese, Korean, Persian,
or any of the major African Languages, as well as in Sociolinguistics and
Cultural/Linguistic Anthropology as related to the Less Commonly Taught
Languages. CASL invites applications for research scientists to work in
CASL's interdisciplinary research programs in each of these disciplines.
Incumbents will assist in the development of research projects that enable
government employees - especially foreign language professionals - to
improve their performance.  

Candidates for these positions must have an earned PhD in an appropriate
field and a record of individual research achievement and publication. The
center is seeking people who will play a leading role in the strategic
direction of CASL and will participate in multiple research projects in
their field. Candidates' research and publications should demonstrate the
ability to conduct complex, interdisciplinary research and to work
collaboratively with a range of institutions and researchers.  Appointments
to CASL are as a research faculty member of the University of Maryland.
Exceptional candidates with national standing may be considered for
tenure-track appointments on a limited, case-by-case basis, and subject to
availability of tenure lines in relevant departments.  

Candidates must hold US citizenship and be willing to obtain a security
clearance.
