Apologies for cross-posting.

We are looking to hire a motivated individual for the position of Research Assistant at the National University of Singapore and Nanyang Technological University, under the joint supervision of Erik Cambria and Guangbin Huang.
The duration of the position is 12 months, but may be extended an additional 6 months or more. The candidate is expected to start in the first quarter of 2013.

The successful candidate will be involved in a project for the application of extreme learning machines (ELM) to sentic computing in order to develop a two-level affective common sense reasoning framework, which will be exploited for tasks such as opinion mining and sentiment analysis. Applicants should have a PhD (or a good honors degree) in Computer Science or similar, as well as relevant experience in conducting research in the field. The ideal candidate should have basic understanding in neural networks, knowledge representation, and natural language processing, and should be able to work independently on such tasks as literature review, programming, and data management.
