[Corpora-List] Postdoc opening in NLP/MT in the DC area at UMD

[Hal Daumé 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 *natural language processing, specializing in statistical 
machine translation*.

A successful candidate should have a strong NLP background with a track 
record of top-tier research publications. A Ph.D. in computer science or 
related discipline is expected and strong organizational and 
coordination skills are a must. In addition to pursuing original 
research in MT, the ideal candidate will help coordinate our MT efforts. 
Experience with machine learning, Mandarin (the language), and MapReduce 
would all be considered a plus.

The successful candidate will work closely with current CLIP faculty, 
especially Philip Resnik and Hal Daume III, while interacting with a 
large team involving NLP researchers across multiple prominent 
organizations. The official duration of the position is one year, 
starting Summer or Fall 2014, and is potentially extendable.

CLIP is a a dynamic interdisciplinary computational linguistics 
laboratory with faculty from across the university, and major research 
efforts in machine translation, machine learning, information retrieval, 
computational social science, and large-scale statistical language 
processing tools. We have a very strong track record of research 
innovation and of placing postdocs in excellent positions following 
their time with us.

Please send a CV with names and contact information of three referees, 
preferably by e-mail, to Philip Resnik, resnik AT umd DOT edu. Please 
begin your subject line with "POSTDOC" for prompt attention.

We are particularly interested in hearing from candidates that we could 
speak with in person at the June 23-25 ACL conference in Baltimore.
