Subject:  Prosodic Analysis Internship


The Center for Human-Computer Communication (CHCC)
at the Oregon Graduate Institute (OGI)

Applications are invited from outstanding linguistics graduate students with
an interest in spoken dialogue, HCI, and prosodic analysis of speech signals
for a 10-week full-time internship position during the Fall of 2000 or
Winter/Spring of 2001. Funding for this internship is sponsored by the
National Science Foundation, and is part of a larger NSF project entitled
"Interactive Multimodal Interfaces: Designing for Human Performance."
Students selected will participate in an interdisciplinary,
team-oriented research project investigating people's spoken and multimodal
input to interactive computer systems. This work is being conducted in a
state-of-the-art laboratory facility at OGI located in the Portland
metropolitan area.

Applicants with a background in linguistics,
especially in prosodic analysis of spoken language, are strongly encouraged to
apply. Students with a background in computer science, cognitive science,
psychology, or human factors also will be considered if their primary interest
and experience is in spoken dialogue, speech technology, HCI, and speech
signal analysis. Experience working with human subjects, scoring and analyzing
language-oriented behavior, and using data analysis/statistics software also
would be relevant to the project.

Please visit our website:

for further information and details about how to apply for the internship.
