Open IR/NLP PhD position at the University of Amsterdam

The University of Amsterdam has a fully funded PhD position on IR/NLP 
for legal and financial textual documents.

We seek an ambitious and highly talented PhD candidate to work on the 
interface of IR and NLP models applied to large scale text.   Our 
project aims to develop effective and efficient information retrieval 
and natural language processing technology for e-discovery and due 
diligence analysis, and to support legal professionals searching for 
very specific information in huge sets of disclosed documents.   There 
is considerable flexibility to shape the project to emerging research 
opportunities and the background and interests of the candidate.

The PhD position is part of a collaboration between the University of 
Amsterdam’s leading research groups on IR and on NLP, and the candidate 
is encouraged to spend time as an intern at our external partners in 
Legal/FinTech (Zuva, Imprima).  We are one of the best European and 
global places to study AI, and you will work together with 7 other PhDs 
as part of a new AI for FinTech research lab.  The PhD position is fully 
funded and you will be employed by the University of Amsterdam for four 
years (full-time, with all employment benefits) and are expected to 
complete a PhD thesis within this period.

Are you interested?   Strong candidates with an IR or NLP background are 
encouraged to apply before May 21.  Details are in:
