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

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:

PhD/Post Doc Positions: L2 Acquisition and L1 Attrition of Dutch and German 

The PhD/Post Doc positions are part of the NWO-funded Vici research project
'The age effect in bilingual development: grammatical gender in second
language acquisition and first language attrition', awarded to Dr. Monika
S. Schmid. The program examines to what extent second language learners can
attain fully native-like representations of grammatical gender, and what
the role of their own language background and the age at which they started
acquiring the L2 is in this respect. In order to shed more light on this
question, migrants who have lived in an environment where a non-gender
language is spoken are also investigated. The project will employ
neurocognitive experimental techniques (ERPs and eyetracking) as well as
more traditional behavioral measures (grammaticality judgments and free
speech).

Additional information as well as a complete description of the project and
the PhD/Postdoc subprojects, can be obtained from the principal
investigator or secretary CLGC.
