Postdoc position in Speech Recognition, Adaptation, Synthesis, Retrieval and Translation
In Aalto University School of Science (previously known as Helsinki University of Technology) at Department of Information and Computer Science.We are looking for a postdoc to join our research group working on machine learning and probabilistic modeling in speech recognition, adaptation, synthesis, retrieval and translation. Speech recognition group (led by Mikko Kurimo) belongs to the national Center of Excellence in Computational Inference (by prof Oja, 2012-2017). We are happy to consider outstanding candidates interested in any of our research themes, for example:
- large-vocabulary speech recognition and text-to-speech synthesis
- acoustic and language model adaptation
- speech recognition in noisy environments
- speech retrieval and translation based on unsupervised morpheme models
- speech recognition in multimodal and multilingual interfaces and information retrieval
- speech recognition in indexing streaming audio and video
Position requires a relevant doctoral degree in CS or EE, skills for doing excellent research in a group, and outstanding research experience in any of the research themes mentioned above. The candidate is expected to perform high-quality research, and assist in supervising PhD students.
In Helsinki you will join the innovative international computational data analysis and ICT community. Among European cities, Helsinki is special in being clean, safe, liberal, Scandinavian, and close to nature, in short, having a high standard of living. English is spoken everywhere. See. e.g. Visit Finland.
Priority will be given to candidates who apply in our department's general postdoc call http://dept.ics.tkk.fi/calls/postdoc_Mar2012/. The DL for the call is April 2. Late applications may also be considered when sent directly by email to
