    Johns Hopkins University seeks to hire outstanding postdoctoral
    researchers immediately at its Center for Language and Speech
    Processing (CLSP). Candidates should have previous experience in
    quantitative approaches to machine learning, speech, language, or
    other AI domains. Strong computational and mathematical skills are
    required.

    CLSP is a leading center for research on speech and language. It
    specializes in formal and quantitative approaches such as
    probabilistic modeling, unsupervised machine learning, and grammar
    formalisms.

    Our core faculty presently include:

        Luigi Burzio Cognitive Science
        Bill Byrne Electrical & Computer Engineering
        Jason Eisner Computer Science
        Bob Frank Cognitive Science
        Fred Jelinek Electrical & Computer Engineering
        Sanjeev Khudanpur Electrical & Computer Engineering
        Paul Smolensky Cognitive Science
        David Yarowsky Computer Science

    We are looking for postdocs to contribute to one or more of the
    following long-term projects funded by NSF and/or DoD. Postdocs
    participating in these highly visible projects can expect to gain
    considerable research experience in speech and language technology.
