Postdoc in Natural Language Processing – New York University Abu Dhabi

The Division of Sciences at New York University Abu Dhabi seeks to appoint
up to two Post-Doctoral Researchers starting January 2015 (in the earliest)
in the field of Natural Language Processing. 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 be within a few months from 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
Standard, Classical or Dialectal Arabic natural language processing is a
plus. Speaking Arabic is not required but a plus.

The post-doctoral researchers 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. To be considered, all applicants
need to submit a curriculum vitae, statement of research interests,
representative publications and three letters of reference, all in PDF
