NSF-Supported Summer Research for Undergraduates

**APPS DUE MARCH 28, 2011

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 27 to August 19, 2011. 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 2011 are described here: http://www.clsp.jhu.edu/workshops/ws11/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 MONDAY, MARCH 28, 2011, and should include the name of a faculty nominator who would be willing to serve as a reference if asked. Apply online here: 

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.

Oracle SQL Tutor Needed

I am a graduate student from Hawaii Pacific University finishing up master's in Information Technology. I am living in Utah for this spring semester visiting with family and taking this class online. My last and only programming course is IS-6065 Introduction to Oracle SQL. The class is basic as I am learning to write SQL statements, compile SQL, and troubleshoot basic level code.
 
I am interested in hiring a grad student with a good understanding of Oracle SQL to assist me with my homework assigments and class project. I am happy to compensate $20/hour for someone's time. Perhaps we could meet on campus or at a coffee shop for about 3-4 hours a week. I am flexible and happy to pay cash. Students can contact me directly.
 
Thank You So Much!
