[Corpora-List] Summer Research for Undergraduates

[Jason Eisner]

NSF-Supported Summer Research for Undergraduates
             (please circulate as appropriate)

The Center for Language and Speech Processing at the Johns Hopkins
University is seeking outstanding members of the current junior class
for a summer research workshop on language engineering from June 7 to
July 30, 2010.

The 8-week workshop provides an intense intellectual environment.
Undergraduates work alongside more senior researchers, as members of a
multi-university research team that has been assembled for the summer
to attack some problem of current interest.  The teams and topics for
summer 2010 are described here:

We hope that this stimulating experience will encourage students to
pursue further study in human language technology, as it has done for
many years.

The summer workshop provides:
* An opportunity to explore an exciting new area of research
* A two-week tutorial on speech and language technology
* Mentoring by an experienced researcher
* Participation in project planning activities
* Use of a computing cluster and personal workstation
* A $5,000 stipend and $2,520 towards per diem expenses
* Private furnished accommodation for the duration of the workshop
* Travel expenses to and from the workshop venue

Initial applications should be received by FRIDAY, MARCH 19, 2009, and
should include the name of a faculty nominator who would be willing to
serve as a reference if asked.  Apply online here:
    http://www.clsp.jhu.edu/workshops/ws10/internship.php

Applicants are evaluated only on relevant skills, employment
experience, past academic record, and the strength of letters of
recommendation.  No limitation is placed on the undergraduate major.
Women and minorities are encouraged to apply.
