Researcher in Natural Language Processing – New York University Abu
Dhabi (PhD required)

This posting is for a postdoctoral researcher in the Computational
Approaches to Modeling Language (CAMeL) lab led by Professor Nizar
Habash at New York University Abu Dhabi. CAMeL is a newly established
research lab with a focus on Arabic Natural Language Processing (NLP).
Areas of research include machine translation, morphological modeling
(analysis, generation, disambiguation), syntactic analysis, dialect
adaptation and modeling, and computer-assisted learning.

Applicants must have received a Ph.D in computer science or a related
discipline, with specialization in any one of the following or closely
related fields: natural language processing, computational
linguistics, or machine learning in the last three years or within
months of completion. Appointment will be for one year and can be
renewed conditional on a satisfactory evaluation of performance at the
end of the year.

We encourage applications from very promising candidates with a
capacity to conduct innovative, high-quality scholarly research in any
of the following areas: statistical or hybrid machine translation,
syntactic parsing, computational morphology, dialect and non-standard
language modeling, and speech recognition and synthesis. Previous
experience or research on Arabic natural language processing is a
plus. Speaking Arabic is not required.

The postdoctoral researcher will work with Professor Nizar Habash and
play key roles in ongoing research at the newly established
Computational Approaches to Modeling Language (CAMeL) Lab. Successful
candidates are expected to develop a widely recognized research
program and to forge productive collaborations with faculty at NYUAD.

The terms of employment are competitive and include housing and
educational subsidies for children.

Applications will be accepted immediately. Please send your CV and
research statement or cover letter to nizar.habash at nyu.edu as soon as
