The Human Language Technology Center of Excellence (HLTCOE) at Johns
Hopkins University seeks to hire outstanding junior and senior researchers
in all areas of speech and language processing.  Positions include research
scientist and post-doc.


The HLTCOE, located near Johns Hopkins’ beautiful Homewood campus in
Baltimore, Maryland, conducts long-term research on fundamental challenges
that are critical for real-world problems.  Its researchers publish widely.

Applicants must hold a PhD in computer science, linguistics, electrical
engineering, or a closely related field.

Candidates should have a strong background in one or more of these areas:

·       *Natural Language Processing and Understanding:* Information
extraction, knowledge distillation, semantics, sentiment, parsing,
morphology, including low-resource languages

·       *Machine Translation:* Low-resource languages, large-scale
training, phrase-based and syntax-based approaches

·       *Speech Processing:* Robust speech recognition and speaker
identification (multiple languages, genres, and channels, limited
resources), speech retrieval, language identification

·       *Machine Learning:* Large-scale learning, transfer learning,
semi-supervised learning, data mining

*Research Scientists*

Research scientists are charged with setting the agenda for a program,
working with other members of the HLTCOE research team to pursue the
organization’s cutting edge research goals, publishing results in academic
conferences, and (optionally) working with or directly advising students
and teaching University courses.

*Senior applicants *should be an experienced researcher with a track record
of high quality publications, and should also have significant experience
in project management and a demonstrated ability in building HLT systems.
Senior applicants should have experience equivalent to the level of
associate professor or 6+ years in industrial research. Applications will
be considered on a rolling basis.

*Junior applicants *should have a strong record of publication, and
demonstrated research experience. Applicants should have experience
equivalent to those applying to assistant professor positions, or 1-5 years
in industry. Submit applications by January 3, 2015 for full consideration,
however, applications will be accepted until positions have been filled.

*Post-Docs*

Recent PhD graduates may be considered for postdoctoral positions, which
last from 1-2 years. Post-docs will be mentored by research scientists.

Applications should be submitted here:
