<p class="MsoNormal"><a href="https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/lab/microsoft-research-new-york/">Microsoft Research New York City</a> (MSR NYC) is seeking outstanding applicants for multiple postdoctoral researcher positions in machine learning (ML)
and AI, especially in the following focus areas: theoretical ML, interactive ML (including reinforcement learning and active learning), and natural language processing (including grounded language understanding and applications of RL to NLP). These are two-year
positions, starting in July 2023.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>For full consideration, all application materials should be submitted by December 9, 2022.<o:p></o:p></b></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">As a postdoctoral researcher, you will have the opportunity to pursue your own research agenda while interacting with
<a href="https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/theme/machine-learning-ai-nyc/people/">
our group's diverse array of researchers and practictioners</a>, and contributing to
<a href="https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/theme/machine-learning-ai-nyc/publications/">

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We are seeking candidates in the general area of machine learning, especially those with a demonstrated interest in the following focus areas:
<b>theoretical machine learning</b>, <b>interactive machine learning</b> (including theoretical, applied, and empirical reinforcement learning and active learning), and
<b>natural language processing</b> (including grounded language understanding and applications of RL to NLP). Applicants should have a well-established research track record, evidenced by conference or journal publications (or equivalent pieces of writing)
and broader contributions to the research community.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Applicants must have fulfilled their PhD degree requirements, including submission of their dissertation, prior to joining MSR NYC. We encourage candidates with tenure-track academic job offers to apply (with the option of doing a one-year
