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

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.

basis of the appointee's qualifications and expertise). The Lector will
advise students and participate in program building of South Asian Studies
at Yale, specifically, in developing overseas language and other study

language (Hindi or Tamil); 2) strong English communication skills; 3)
experience in teaching the target language as a second language in a
college or university environment; 4) an M.A. or other advanced degree in a
relevant discipline (e.g. South Asian languages, literature, linguistics);
5) demonstrated ability and enthusiasm for in-class language instruction.
Further desirable characteristics include some expertise in second-language
teaching/acquisition, knowledge of overseas language and related study
sites, experience with technologically-aided language learning methods and
their development, interest in the broader field of South Asian Studies
and/or other relevant disciplines. Salary is commensurate with experience
and background.

Review of applications will begin on December 15, 2008, and continue until
both positions are filled. Please send your application letter, curriculum
