Hi - Could you please circulate this research opportunity to
current juniors in your department?  It is an intensive annual
program that brings together new teams of established researchers
each summer.  It has a long track record of successfully mentoring 
top undergraduates by including them on these teams from the start.

The application deadline is next week.

-thanks, jason eisner

NSF-Supported Summer Research for Undergraduates

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 closely alongside more senior researchers as
part of a multi-university research team, which has been assembled
for the summer to attack some problem of current interest.  The
teams and topics for summer 2010 are described here:

    http://www.clsp.jhu.edu/workshops/ws10/internship.php

We hope that this stimulating and selective experience will
encourage students to pursue graduate study in human language
technology, as it has been doing for many years.

The summer workshop provides:
* An opportunity to explore an exciting new area of research
* A two-week tutorial on current 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.
