POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCH POSITION OPEN

The Illinois Institute of Technology Department of Computer Science in 
Chicago, IL is delighted to announce an opening for a Postdoctoral 
Research Associate, for a recent Ph.D. in computer science, 
computational linguistics, or related areas. We seek applicants to work 
with Prof. Shlomo Argamon in the Linguistic Cognition Laboratory, the PI 
of a federally-funded project to identify and analyze metaphors in 
multiple languages.

The ideal candidate will have a scholarly understanding of computational 
linguistics and metaphor, be an excellent programmer, and be comfortable 
with technologies for the analysis of big data. The postdoc will: (a) 
support development of automated language analysis and text mining for 
metaphor identification and analysis, (b) help manage the work of 
graduate research assistants on the project, (c) aid in developing 
research publications and external funding proposals, and (d) support 
other research and administration activities in the project.

Applicants from all areas relevant to the research are encouraged to 
apply. In addition to the core area of computational linguistics, 
training in machine learning, statistical analysis, and information 
retrieval will be helpful. Knowledge of Spanish, Russian, or Farsi is 
also a plus.

The position includes a competitive salary plus benefits. It will run 
through the end of 2012, beginning as soon as possible, with the 
possibility of a one-year renewal upon satisfactory performance and 
continued funding.

Interested candidates should apply via email to Dr. Shlomo Argamon 
(argamon at iit.edu <mailto:argamon at iit.edu>). Applications should include 
a CV with cover letter, including the names of three references, giving 
contact information (email address and phone number) and relationship to 
the candidate for each reference. Inquiries can similarly be directed to 
the above email address. Prior to hiring, successful applicants will be 
required to submit either a transcript/diploma showing the date of an 
earned Ph.D. degree or a letter from their academic adviser confirming 
the expectation of the degree by May 2012.


Review of applications will begin immediately and continue until the 
position is filled.
