Post-doctoral Fellow Position in Natural Language Processing
Joint hire between MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) and University at Albany, SUNY
MIT CSAIL Clinical Decision Making Group, led by Professor Szolovits, and University at Albany, SUNY Computational Linguistics and Information Processing Group, led by Professor Uzuner, invite applications for joint post-doctoral fellowships. The candidate will be jointly appointed at MIT and SUNY, and will participate in the ongoing federally and privately funded research projects on medical language processing for concept extraction, relation classification, co-reference resolution, and temporal reasoning, with applications to clinical tasks. Candidates are expected to hold a PhD in Computer Science, Information Science, Medical Informatics, or a related field. In addition, they are expected to have a very strong background in Natural Language Processing and Computational Linguistics, and demonstrate expert knowledge in machine learning and rule-based systems as applied to computational linguistics and natural language processing, as well as development and execution of annotation tasks with teams of experts. A track record of publications in top conferences, such as ACL, AAAI, and CoLing, and journals, such as CL and JAMIA, is a plus.
Anticipated start date is July 2015. Duration of appointment is one year, with possibility of extension.
