Associate Professor - Natural Language Processing - Tenure Track CHOP
Location: Philadelphia, PA
Open Date: Apr 25, 2022
Deadline: Jul 25, 2022 at 11:59 PM Eastern Time
Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and the Department of Psychiatry at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania seek candidates for an Associate Professor position in the tenure track. Expertise is required in the specific area of natural language processing approaches to understanding the clinical phenotypes of children with neurodevelopmental disabilities. Applicants with experience using quantitative behavioral imaging methods such as infrared eye tracking, and tech-based interventions including virtual reality, are strongly encouraged to apply. Applicants must have a Ph.D. degree.
Teaching responsibilities may include training Penn/CHOP medical students, supervising postdoctoral fellows, and providing expertise for trainees who wish to apply a computational linguistics approach to understanding and addressing neuropsychiatric variation.
Research or scholarship responsibilities may include conducting investigations of patterns of vocalization, language, and visual attention among young children with Autism Spectrum Disorder and their siblings. Responsibilities may include developing and supervising a research and training program focused on using methods from computational linguistics to evaluate, monitor, and ultimately inform real-world interventions to improve everyday function for individuals with neurodevelopmental and neuropsychiatric conditions. Expertise in natural language processing and use of behavioral imaging methods such as infrared eye tracking is required, and experience utilizing computational linguistics approaches to analyze big data is preferred. Successful candidates will have a strong record of submitting and receiving extramural funding from federal sources, such as NIH, conducting research, and publishing original research findings. The successful candidate will also be expected to have a national reputation for research and scholarship.
We seek candidates who embrace and reflect diversity in the broadest sense. The University of Pennsylvania and Children's Hospital of Philadelphia are EOEs. Minorities/women/individuals with disabilities/protected veterans are encouraged to apply.

Vision
As engines of knowledge and new ideas, universities have the unique potential to define the future rather than be defined by it; to pioneer change rather than merely manage it. To do so requires a plan both visionary and pragmatic. The Penn Compact 2022 motivates community members to innovate, be radically inclusive, and positively impact their local, national, and global communities.
Penn’s fundamental priorities — increasing access, integrating knowledge and engaging locally, nationally and globally — are supported by the three core values that make us uniquely Penn: inclusion, innovation, and impact.

Diversity
Understanding and appreciating diversity is one of Penn's most important priorities and is fundamental to success in today's world.
Penn adheres to a policy that prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, religion, creed, national or ethnic origin, citizenship status, age, disability, veteran status, or any other legally protected class.
