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

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.

Toronto Scarborough (UTSC), to begin July 1, 2008. Candidates must have a
PhD in linguistics with specialization in sociolinguistics, with emphasis
on the linguistic construction of identity, especially gender and

transnational studies, particularly with respect to the Arab world. In
addition to undergraduate teaching, duties include graduate teaching and
supervision; applicants must demonstrate excellence in both research and
teaching. Salary will be commensurate with qualifications and experience.

The University of Toronto is a tri-campus university with a unitary
graduate department. UTSC is a research-intensive institution with an
interdisciplinary commitment and a multicultural student body speaking a
wide range of languages. Additional information on the Department can be

Applicants should send a letter of application, a current curriculum vitae,
one writing sample, and teaching materials to Professor William R. Bowen,
Chair, Department of Humanities. Three letters of reference should be sent
directly to Professor Bowen. Applications and reference letters may be
submitted electronically (preferred) to the application email address or
mailed to the application address listed below.

The University of Toronto is strongly committed to diversity within its
community and especially welcomes applications from visible minority group
members, women, Aboriginal persons, persons with disabilities, members of
sexual minority groups, and others who may contribute to the further
diversification of ideas. The University of Toronto offers the opportunity
to teach, conduct research and live in one of the most diverse cities in
the world. All qualified candidates are encouraged to apply; however,
Canadians and permanent residents of Canada will be given priority.
