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

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.

Qualifications:
PhD in linguistics with a specialization in Computational Linguistics. ABDs

reduction to develop activities of the center. Faculty members could also
reduce their teaching load by successfully applying for and securing grants
from on-campus and/or outside agencies.

A pattern of demonstrated excellence in teaching and continued scholarly,
professional activity, including publications in refereed venues, and fund
