[Corpora] [Corpora-List] Earn your PhD at the University of Texas at Austin!

[Matt Lease]

The University of Texas at Austin invites applications from talented and 
energetic prospective students wanting to help shape the future of 
research in natural language processing and its applications. UT Austin 
is one of the premier research universities in the US and is located in 
one of the country's sunniest and most vibrant cities in which to live 
and work, Austin.

I have openings in my own lab to fully-support new students particularly 
interested in related research in human computation / crowdsourcing 
and/or information retrieval.

My colleague Byron Wallace (also both iSchool and CS-affiliated) is also 
doing great work in data mining, active learning, natural language 
processing, and evidence based medicine.

and there is a great group of faculty at UT:

PhD Applications for our School of Information (iSchool), ranked 6th 
nationally, are due ***December 15th***.

     https://www.ischool.utexas.edu/admissions/phd

While we do not guarantee consideration of late applications, the closer 
to the deadline an application is received, the greater the likelihood 
that it will be considered.

If you have never heard about iSchools before, read more about them:

The UT Austin School of Information is committed to making a difference 
in the world by designing information management solutions that are 
accessible, useful, usable, and sustainable. To increase scientific 
understanding of the role and impact of information in all human 
endeavors, we study problems and develop solutions for better 
information design, management, organization, preservation, and retrieval.

Our curriculum allows individual programs of study to be tailored to 
meet each student's diverse research interests, preparing all students 
to become high quality, high-impact researchers in their targeted areas 
of interest.

I came to the UT Austin iSchool with a PhD in Computer Science and have 
found it to be a great place to be.  iSchools have plenty of computing 
research opportunities (and more) to offer!

In comparison to the iSchool, the CS department tends to have even more 
applicants, so CS admissions tends to be even more competitive. It's 
okay to apply to both iSchool and CS programs; each has its own separate 
admissions process, as well as beautiful new facilities in which to work 
and study.

UT Austin uses a centralized application process, which means I do not 
get to decide whether or not to accept a given applicant. The admissions 
committee will review all applications and make a holistic evaluation of 
each applicant's overall potential for excellence in research.

We look forward to receiving your application and hope you will be able 
to join us at UT Austin next Fall!
