Description:

The Cognitive Science Program at Indiana University in Bloomington is 
seeking to fill a postdoc position in the area of text mining and knowledge 
discovery, with particular focus on topic discovery in large text corpora. 
Salary is consistent with current NIH guidelines, ranging from $38,496 to 
$53,112 plus a modest travel allowance. The position is available for up to 
four years, beginning on or after September 1, 2012. 

The position will be held under the supervision of Dr. Michael Jones in the IU 
Cognitive Computing Laboratory (http://www.indiana.edu/~clcl/). The postdoc 
will be part of a large multisite project exploring automatic discovery and 
extraction of semantic topics from large databases of scientific articles. The 
ideal candidate will have a strong background in computational techniques for 
large-scale text mining and topic modeling including, but not limited to, LDA-
based topic models, NLP techniques, machine learning, and cognitive 
modeling. A strong programming background is expected. Working knowledge 
of the neuroimaging literature, basic neuroanatomy, and cognitive 
experiments is desirable, but not necessary. Candidates must have a PhD in 
computing science, linguistics, psychology, or a related field. 

Interested applicants are encouraged to send via email attachments an up-to-
date CV and the names of three referees who can describe the applicant's 
background, interests, and research potential to Michael Jones 
(jonesmn at indiana.edu). Reprints and preprints of any prior research or 
scholarly activities should also be sent if possible. Women, members of 
underrepresented groups, and handicapped individuals are urged to apply. 
Indiana University is an Affirmative Action Employer.

Alternatively, applicant information may be mailed to the mailing address 
below.

The Cognitive Science Program at Indiana University 
(http://cogs.indiana.edu/) has a long history of pioneering work in 
computational and mathematical modeling of human cognition, and has a 
strong international reputation in modern computational approaches to 
cognitive science.
