Job Title: Training postdocs in deep learning for computational linguistics
Job Rank: Post Doc

Specialty Areas: Cognitive Science; Computational Linguistics 


Description:

Training in deep neural network modeling is available through two postdoctoral
research positions. The focus is on research integrating neural and symbolic
methods for computational linguistics and AI, in collaboration with
researchers at Johns Hopkins University and Microsoft Research AI. 

Applicants need not have experience with neural network modeling but should
have: 
- Background in a topic-relevant area such as language, reasoning, or other AI
domain, and 
- General technical experience in computing, and a readiness to commit to
quickly getting up to speed in the practice of deep learning research within
an intellectually stimulating environment of researchers working on related
problems.

Candidates will need to have in hand a PhD in a relevant field upon starting a
postdoctoral position at a mutually-agreed upon date. 

Applications will be considered as they are received until the positions are
filled. Applications should be sent to the application email provided below. 

PLEASE NOTE that an application will consist of:
- A letter explaining the applicant’s interests in deep learning, and in
particular in neural/symbolic approaches, relevant knowledge and skills that
the candidate would bring to research in this area, as well as  the training
they seek to obtain from the position; 
- A research statement; 
- A CV with links to publications; and 
- The names, affiliations and email addresses of 3 referees who may be
contacted by the search committee.



Application Deadline:  (Open until filled)
