Johns Hopkins, founded in 1876, is America's first research
university and home to nine world-class academic divisions working
together as one university.

If you love developing fundamental machine learning models and
algorithms inspired by complex phenomena such as natural language,

projects.
Appointment renewal will be based on performance and funding
availability. Currently funding is available for the first 3 years.

faculty culminating in the rank of (full) Research Professor.
