Subject: Open Post-Doc position in neural machine translation at the University of Munich Open Post-Doc position in neural machine translation at the University of Munich I am expanding my research group, which is located at the Center for Information and Language Processing at the University of Munich (LMU). This position is on my European Research Council Starting Grant. The main area of focus for this position will be neural machine translation to morphologically rich languages. A secondary focus might be supervised learning with noisy labels. Candidates with experience in one or both of these areas (or deep learning and/or supervised classification in general interested in these areas) are welcome to apply. There will be possibilities to teach and to collaborate on grant applications. Post-Docs may also participate in the supervision of doctoral students and/or masters/bachelors students. The working language of the group is English, no knowledge of German is required. There is significant interaction with the research groups of Hinrich Schütze (deep learning and a variety of NLP problems) and Helmut Schmid (translation, parsing, tagging, morphology). We also have several active collaborations with colleagues at other universities. The University of Munich is one of the top research universities in Europe. It was the highest ranked institution on several measures in the Exzellenzinitiative funding program organized by the German national science foundation in 2012. Munich and the Upper Bavaria area are among the regions in Europe with the highest quality of living. The area is also home to a large number of high-tech, services and manufacturing companies, including many that use NLP technology. If you are interested in applying please send me: * a cover letter including possible start dates * a CV * a statement of research interests * a brief statement of teaching experience and interest * the names and addresses of two references Informal inquiries about this position or future positions are also welcome, a copy of your CV could be useful here but is not strictly required. LMU is an equal opportunity employer and is committed to increasing the diversity of its staff. We strongly encourage applications from qualified women. Applicants with disabilities will be given preference in case of equally qualified candidates. Thanks, Alexander Fraser email: fraser@cis.uni-muenchen.de web: http://www.cis.uni-muenchen.de/~fraser
