[CaCL] Fwd: [cmcl] postdoc ad

[Marten van Schijndel]

Some openings for interesting academic/industry crossover postdocs. From
what I've heard, the dates are pretty flexible if people needed a bit
more time to finish. I'm also under the impression that applicants would
have a large amount of input over the industry vs academic mixture involved.

*Postdoctoral positions in neural/symbolic AI*

*Johns Hopkins University/Microsoft Research AI*

Two postdoctoral research positions are available to conduct research on
integrating neural and symbolic computation for AI/cognitive science, in
collaboration with researchers at Johns Hopkins University and Microsoft
Research AI. Application domains to be pursued include reasoning and
natural language processing, particularly in tasks that demand deep
comprehension.

In addition to considerable experience with coding in AI-related areas,
applicants should have strong backgrounds in at least two of the
following fields: mathematical analysis of neural computation; formal
theoretical linguistics; symbolic AI techniques for reasoning and
language processing; large-scale neural-network system-building.
Candidates will need to have in hand a PhD in a relevant field upon
starting the postdoctoral position at a mutually-agreed upon date,
ideally in Spring 2018.

Applications will be considered as they are received until the positions
are filled. Applications should be sent to GSCpostdoc at jhu.edu
<mailto:GSCpostdoc at jhu.edu>. Please note that an application will
consist of (i) a letter explaining the applicant’s interests 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, (ii) a research statement, (iii)
a CV with links to publications, and (iv) the names, affiliations and
email addresses of 3 referees who may be contacted by the search committee.
