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 to join a summer research workshop on language engineering from June 11 to August 7, 2012.

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 2012 are described here:

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

Applications should be received by WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 29, 2012, INCLUDING one letter from a faculty nominator.  Apply online here:

 http://www.clsp.jhu.edu/internships/
 
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.
