• Study and analyze problems, propose solutions and design experiments
• Design and build systems that solve difficult problems involving text and time series data
• Use Bloomberg’s unique data to build novel prediction models

• Publish research findings in leading academic venues and represent Bloomberg at industry conferences
You'll need to have:
• A PhD in Machine Learning, Natural Language Processing, Computer Vision or equivalent experience
• 5+ years of experience programming in C++, Python or Java
• 3+ publications in top-tier conferences or journals in NLP or ML (such as ACL, EMNLP, ICML, NIPS, CVPR or KDD)
