The Computational Linguistics and Information Processing Laboratory at
the University of Maryland, College Park, is seeking postdoctoral
researchers to work on high profile, multidisciplinary projects in
statistical machine translation, question answering, and user-centered
information retrieval.  Candidates must have excellent computational
skills, a strong publication record in relevant conferences/journals,
and the ability to integrate happily into an energetic, highly
multidisciplinary team.  Language skills in Arabic and/or Chinese
would be particularly valuable for some positions.  There are also
opportunities for joint work with other UMIACS labs, including the
Human-Computer Interaction Laboratory (HCIL) and the Language and
Media Processing Laboratory (LAMP).  These positions are principally
focused on research, but they also provide opportunities to acquire
skills in teaching, grant writing, and project management.

Here are Web pages for the Principal Investigators in the lab:

If interested, please send a cover letter, curriculum vitae, statement
of research interests, and e-contact information for three
recommenders, to Denise Best, denise at umiacs.umd.edu.  Applicants will
be reviewed on a rolling basis, so apply now!

The nine previous CLIP postdoctoral researchers are now on the faculty
of the University of Pittsburgh (2), the University of Chicago, and
Queen Mary University in London, and working as research scientists at
Microsoft (2), the University of Southern California (2), and MIT
Lincoln Labs.  Initial renewable appointments are for one year, with
2-3 years terms being typical.  The University of Maryland is an Equal
Opportunity Employer.
