[Hal Daume III]

A postdoc position is available in the Computational Linguistics and
Information Processing (CLIP) Laboratory in the Institute for Advanced
Computer Studies at University of Maryland.  We are seeking a talented
researcher in machine learning, with strong interests in
forecasting. Knowledge of or background in natural language processing
is considered a plus.

A successful candidate should have a strong machine learning
background with a track record of top-tier research publications.  A
Ph.D. in computer science and strong organizational and coordination
skills are a must.  The candidate will primarily conduct research on
the exciting problem of predicting trends and growth in scientific
literature. In addition to pursuing original research, the ideal
candidate will coordinate the efforts of the other members of the
project.  While not necessary, experience in one or more of the
following areas is highly advantageous: computational social science,
computational finance, NLP/data mining for scientific literature or
social network analysis. Additionally, experience with large-data
processing and system building will be considered favorably.

CLIP is a dynamic interdisciplinary computational linguistics
program with faculty from across the university, and major research
efforts in machine learning, machine translation, information
retrieval, semantic analysis, generation, and development of
large-scale statistical language processing tools.

The successful candidate will work closely with Hal Daume III while
interacting with a large team involving NLP and machine learning
researchers across several other prominent institutions.  The duration
of the position is one year, starting Summer or Fall 2013, and is
potentially extendible. The compensation package includes a
competitive salary and benefits plan.

Please send a CV and names and contact information of 3 referees by
