Postdoc in Speech and Language Processing for using Police Body-Camera Data to Improve Police-Community Relations

Stanford University announces a one-year postdoctoral fellowship starting June 1, 2020 (but this date is flexible), with the potential for renewal for a second year depending on funding.

The postdoc would join our project on using NLP, dialogue, and speech processing to improve police-community relations by processing and studying the language from police body-worn cameras.

Candidates should have a PhD in Computer Science or a related field with a strong background in NLP and dialogue. Experience working with spoken language and interdisciplinary experience in computational social science is also desirable. The project encompasses a wide variety of research areas and methods, including modeling conversational interaction and dialogue structure, extracting social and discourse meaning from text and speech, studying social media related to police-community interaction, speech processing, and possibly video processing

Candidates should submit the following materials electronically to Suzanne Lessard at slessard@stanford.edu by January 15, 2020. Review of applications will begin January 15 and continue until the position is filled. We expect to get back to applicants before the end of March 2020.
