Dear Vincent,
I spread the job offer you are referring to. I am sorry to hear they ask such questions. I didn't know about it and I find it as shocking as you do. I came to know about the offer through the Imperial College London mailing list and not because I have contacts with Ocean2012. Given the limited time I have I do not control in detail all the offers I forward to the Network. Here it is to choose between sending them even though issues such as yours may arise or not sending them at all. Since I believe all the emerging ethnobiologists (EE) of this network are as able as you are to judge each offer I'd rather send them than not.
Therefore I strongly thank you for your email that will save other EE from your same shock.
All the best
Giulia

Hi everybody,
Thank you "EmergingEthnoNetwork" for spreading interesting announcements.
Anyway, after reading the application form for "Ocean2012 job", I must say that I found it quite shocking : even if the answers are optional, I can't see what's the point of asking appliants about their sexual orientation, religion and "ethnic origin" - wich sounds not scientific at all and quite ethically doubtful, to say the least.
If people really matters for these economists, I think they should consider people regardless to the sexual orientation, belief, disability, color of the skin and "origins".
Sorry if you find this message useless, but I just can't keep silent about this kind of obnoxious discrimination. I hope you'll understand, or agree !
Yours sincerely,
Vincent from France
