The International Computer Science Institute (ICSI) invites applications for a postdoctoral Fellow position in speech processing. The Fellow will be working with Nelson Morgan, along with international colleagues, in the area of medium bit-rate speech coding. Some experience with modern speech coding approaches (particularly CELP-related) is required, along with strong capabilities in signal processing in general.
ICSI is an independent not-for-profit Institute located a few blocks from the Berkeley campus of the University of California. It is closely affiliated with the University, and particularly with the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) Department. See http://www.icsi.berkeley.edu to learn more about ICSI.
The ICSI Speech Group (including its predecessor, the ICSI Realization Group) has been a source of novel approaches to speech processing since 1988. It is primarily known for its work in speech recognition, although it has housed major projects in speaker recognition and metadata extraction in the last few years. The new effort in speech coding will draw upon lessons learned in our feature extraction work for these classification-oriented topics.
Applications should include a cover letter, vita, and the names of at least 3 references (with both postal and email addresses). Applications should be sent by email to morgan@icsi.berkeley.edu and by postal mail to
