The Center for Language and Speech Processing at the Johns Hopkins University is seeking
outstanding members of the current junior class to participate in a summer workshop on
language engineering from June 23 to August 15, 2008. The eight-week workshop provides a
stimulating intellectual environment and we hope it will encourage students to eventually
pursue graduate study in the field of human language technologies.
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
* Access to Google's computing infrastructure during the workshop
* 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
Application available online at http://www.clsp.jhu.edu/ws08/application/ . Applications
must be received by Wednesday, March 5, 2008.
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.Contact Information:
