PhD fellowships in Machine Learning for Natural Language Processing

The Department of Computational Linguistics at the University of Heidelberg, Germany and the Department of Computing at Macquarie University, Sydney, Australia are offering research fellowships (including scholarship) for a cotutelle (joint PhD) program focusing on applications of Machine Learning to Natural Language Processing. We're looking for students with strong computational and mathematical backgrounds to work on topics such as statistical machine translation, parsing, and information extraction. Successful applicants will be jointly supervised by Professor Johnson at Macquarie and Professor Riezler at Heidelberg.

Applicants should apply both to

1. Macquarie University at http://hdr.mq.edu.au/information_about/applications; and
2. The University of Heidelberg at http://www.uni-heidelberg.de/fakultaeten/neuphil/promotion/
