NSF-FUNDED INTERNSHIPS IN HCI & MULTIMODAL SYSTEMS Applications are invited from outstanding upper-level undergraduate and graduate students for 10-week full-time spring or summer internship positions in human-computer interaction and multimodal systems. Funding for these internships primarily is sponsored by the National Science Foundation, and is part of a larger NSF projec entitled ``Interactive Multimodal Interfaces: Designing for Human Performance." Students selected will participate in an interdisciplinary, team-oriented research project investigating people's spoken, pen-based, and multimodal input to interactive computer systems. One aim of this research is the design of successful interfaces for multimodal systems and portable devices. This work is being conducted in a new state-of-the-art laboratory facility in the Center for Human-Computer Communication at the Oregon Graduate Institute of Science and Technology (OGI), which is located in the Portland metropolitan area 10-15 minutes west of the city. Applicants with a background in computer science, cognitive science, psychology, linguistics, or human factors are encouraged to apply. Interests in the following areas are preferred: human-computer interaction and user-centered design, multimodal/multimedia systems, speech and pen technology, human communication and behavior, linguistics and natural language processing, phonology, interactive graphics and visualization techniques, research design and statistics. Experience working with human subjects, scoring and analyzing language-oriented behavior, using WAVES software, using data analysis/statistics software, programming in C++ and X-windows, or in computer graphics would be most relevant to the project. To apply, submit a resume, xerox copy of course transcripts, names and contact information for 3 references, and a brief statement of research/career interests by February 28th to: Gloria McCauley, Center Administrator Center for Human-Computer Communication Department of Computer Science Oregon Graduate Institute of Science & Technology P.
