Description:

The Institute for Intelligent Systems (IIS) at the University of Memphis invites
applications from outstanding graduate students with an interest in dialogue
systems, computational semantics, and knowledge representation. Students with a
background in computational linguistics, artificial intelligence, cognitive
science and cognitive psychology are encouraged to apply. In addition to course
work, students will work part-time on innovative research projects, for which
they receive a tuition waver and stipend (minimum of $1000/month). Students will
be trained to present at international conferences and publish in academic journals.

The Institute for Intelligent Systems (IIS) at the University of Memphis is an
interdisciplinary center that incorporates the fields of computer science,
cognitive science, psychology, computational linguistics, philosophy,
engineering, and physics.  The students and faculty are working on a number of
Federal grants that involve the development and testing of intelligent tutoring
systems with natural language and dialogue facilities, of conversational agents
with speech generation, facial expressions, and gestures, and of other computer
systems that require natural language processing.  For more information on the
IIS, see our website.

Applications for graduate student positions can be sent to Andrew Olney (see
address below).

Please be sure to include in your application a cover letter indicating your
research interests and skills. Also include an outline of your academic/career
plans for the next three years.  Finally, enclose a resume, listing your contact
information and relevant experience. 

Additional application must be made for admission into a home department. Check
http://www.memphis.edu/admissions/ and the relevant home department for deadlines.
