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

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.

postgraduate activity, including prominent graduate schools in linguistics.

application should include:

-  a current CV
-  a one-page statement about teaching syntax
-  a one-page summary of teaching experience
-  a one-page summary of research interests

-  three letters of reference, sent directly by the referees

Semi-finalists will be interviewed if possible at the LSA Annual Meeting in
San Francisco. We welcome inquiries to Professor Flynn (email listed
below). Candidates are also invited to visit our webpages (listed above).
Carleton College is an affirmative action/equal opportunity employer.  We
are committed to developing our faculty to better reflect the diversity of
our student body and American society.  Women and members of minority
groups are strongly encouraged to apply.
