POST-DOCTORAL POSITION AT IBM RESEARCH (Yorktown Heights, New York):  DEEP 
LEARNING NEURAL NET APPLICATIONS & RESEARCH

IBM Research (T. J. Watson Research Center; 30 miles north of NYC) is 
seeking a highly-motivated and highly-qualified neural network researcher 
for a post-doctoral position in my area. 

A main focus of the work will be on the application of artificial NNs -- 
especially deep learning methods -- to discover patterns within large sets 
of financial transactions.

Depending on the successful candidate’s interests, the work may also 
include more fundamental research in deep learning and its potential links 
to computational neuroscience.  I would expect aspects of the applications 
work, as well as (of course) the more basic research, to lead to quality 
publications. 

The details:  The candidate must have or be close to completing a PhD.  He 
or she should be experienced in performing neural network research and/or 
applications development, and in programming NN simulations (preferably 
using Matlab).   Some background in deep learning methods is especially 
desirable.  Experience programming in C or C++ is a definite plus; 
experience programming FPGAs could also be useful. 

Application materials should include:
- C.V. (including degrees, experience in NN or machine learning research 
or applications, awards, publications, when you completed or expect to 
complete your PhD)
- statement of research interests 
- contact information for 2-3 references

Please send your application to:
