    The Computational Linguistics and Information Processing Laboratory at
    the University of Maryland, College Park, is seeking postdoctoral
    researchers to work on high profile, multidisciplinary projects in
    statistical machine translation, question answering, and user-centered
    information retrieval. Candidates must have excellent computational
    skills, a strong publication record in relevant conferences/journals,
    and the ability to integrate happily into an energetic, highly
    multidisciplinary team. Language skills in Arabic and/or Chinese
    would be particularly valuable for some positions. There are also
    opportunities for joint work with other UMIACS labs, including the
    Human-Computer Interaction Laboratory (HCIL) and the Language and
    Media Processing Laboratory (LAMP). These positions are principally
    focused on research, but they also provide opportunities to acquire
    skills in teaching, grant writing, and project management.

    Here are Web pages for the Principal Investigators in the lab:

      Bonnie Dorr http://umiacs.umd.edu/~bonnie/
      Jimmy Lin http://umiacs.umd.edu/~jimmylin/
      Judith Klavans http://www.clis.umd.edu/faculty/klavans/
      Doug Oard http://glue.umd.edu/~oard/
      Philip Resnik http://umiacs.umd.edu/~resnik/
      Amy Weinberg http://umiacs.umd.edu/~weinberg/

    If interested, please send a cover letter, curriculum vitae, statement
    of research interests, and e-contact information for three
    recommenders, to Denise Best, denise@umiacs.umd.edu. Applicants will
    be reviewed on a rolling basis, so apply now!

    The nine previous CLIP postdoctoral researchers are now on the faculty
    of the University of Pittsburgh (2), the University of Chicago, and
    Queen Mary University in London, and working as research scientists at
    Microsoft (2), the University of Southern California (2), and MIT
    Lincoln Labs. Initial renewable appointments are for one year, with
    2-3 years terms being typical. The University of Maryland is an Equal
    Opportunity Employer.
