[Corpora-List] Postdoc in NLP and Machine Learning at the University College London

[Sebastian Riedel]

=============
POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCH ASSOCIATE in NLP and Machine Learning
  Computer Science Department
  University College London
  Application Closing Date: 30 Sep 2013

# Position:

Applications are invited for a postdoctoral Research Associate in
Statistical Natural Language Processing and Machine Learning to work with
Dr Sebastian Riedel (UCL Computer Science) to develop novel methods and
models to extract rich knowledge graphs from web-scale textual data. The
project will focus on the intersection of recent developments in relation
extraction with Universal Schemas [1] and matrix factorization,
compositional semantics and latent (recursive) vector-space embeddings. The
associate is expected to publish papers in top venues and to collaborate
with other faculty, research associates and students.

The associate will be part of the newly established UCL Machine Reading lab
in the Computer Science department, affiliated with the Centre for
Computational Statistics and Machine Learning (bringing together CS, the
Gatsby unit and Statistics department). He or she will be physically
located on the UCL Bloomsbury campus in the heart of London. The position
is funded by a Google Focused Research Award [2], and the associate will be
able (and encouraged to) collaborate with researchers at Google and visit
Google workshops.

The post is funded for two years initially.

# Key Requirements:

The Research Associate is expected to have a PhD degree and top-tier
peer-reviewed publications in statistical natural language processing
and/or machine learning. We are particularly looking for experience in
information extraction, compositional semantics, large scale matrix
factorization, and graphical models. The candidate is also expected to be
capable of working under limited supervision, have strong communication and
coding skills, and to work in a team.

If you have any queries regarding the vacancy or the application process,
please contact Dr Sebastian Riedel, tel: ++44 20 3549 5254, email: *
