The International Computer Science Institute (ICSI) invites applications for a senior staff position in its speech research group. Successful applicants must have significant post-PhD experience, and a world-class research reputation. Candidates must also have demonstrated ability to grow and manage a strong research effort. A successful track record with obtaining funding for the chosen area is essential.
The ICSI Speech Group (including its predecessor, the ICSI Realization Group) has been a source of novel approaches to speech processing since 1988. ICSI's speech group is
well known for its efforts in speech recognition (particularly in neural network approaches and novel forms of feature extraction), as well as in speaker recognition, diarization, and speech understanding. It has close ties to research efforts in machine translation on the Berkeley campus, and to the STAR lab at SRI for the complete range of its research. It also works closely with several European labs, particularly IDIAP in Switzerland and to the University of Edinburgh.
ICSI is an independent not-for-profit Institute located a few blocks from the Berkeley campus of the University of California. It is closely affiliated with the University, and particularly with the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) Department. Students, faculty, and administrative colleagues from the University all play a key role at the Institute. In addition to its Speech Group, areas of current strength in the Institute include: Artificial Intelligence (primarily in natural language), Internet research (primarily in architecture and internet security), and Algorithms (primarily associated with problems in bioinformatics and networking). We also have new activities in Computer Vision and Computer Architecture. See http://www.icsi.berkeley.edu to learn more about ICSI.
Applications should include a cover letter, a vita, the names of at least 3 references (with both postal and email addresses), and a research statement. Applications should be sent by email to speechjob @ icsi.berkeley.edu and by postal mail to:
