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. ----- End forwarded message ----- -- Tia Newhall Computer Science Department Associate Professor, Chair Swarthmore College newhall@cs.swarthmore.edu 500 College Ave. www.cs.swarthmore.edu Swarthmore, PA 19081 610-690-5637 (voice) 610-328-8606 (fax) ________________________________________________________________________
