    MSc in Speech and Language Processing

    Speech Hearing and Language Research Centre Department of Linguistics

    Macquarie University Sydney, Australia

    This Masters program at Macquarie University, Sydney, has been designed to take advantage of a strong research and development base to provide a grounding in speech and language technology for graduates who want to be part of this exciting field.

    This is a coursework degree and can be taken over one year full time or two years part time. Starting in 2000 we are hoping to offer the degree in distance mode (by correspondence) -- you should be able to complete the degree within two years in this mode.

    The program includes a set of compulsory units introducing speech and language processing and a range of elective units which explore topics in detail. Students complete a one-paper research/development project in thier final semester.

    The course is designed for graduates in related disciplines, for example, Computer Science, Linguistics, or Electrical Engineering, who wish to gain sufficient expertise in this inherently cross-disciplinary area to effectively participate in speech and language projects in industry and academia.

    Further details on the course can be found at our web site:

    NEH SUMMER STIPENDS Deadline: October 1, 1999 for awards during the summer of the year 2000

    The National Endowment for the Humanities announces the competition for Summer Stipends awards. These awards support two consecutive months of full-time work on projects that will make a significant contribution to the humanities. In most cases, faculty members of colleges and universities in the United States must be nominated by their institutions for the Summer Stipends competition, and each of these institutions may nominate two applicants. Prospective applicants who will require nomination should acquaint themselves with their institution's nomination procedures well before the October 1 deadline. Individuals employed in nonteaching capacities in colleges and universities and independent scholars not affiliated with colleges and universities do not require nomination and may apply directly to the program. Adjunct faculty and academic applicants with appointments terminating by the summer of 2000 may also apply without nomination. TENURE: Tenure must cover two full and uninterrupted months and will normally be held between May 1, 2000 and September 30, 2000. STIPEND: $4,000

    INQUIRIES: 202/606-8551 stipendsneh.gov

    PURPOSE AND SCOPE: The Summer Stipends program provides opportunities for individuals to pursue advanced work in disciplines of the humanities during the summer. Projects proposed for support may contribute to scholarly knowledge or to the general public's understanding of the humanities, and they may address broad topics or consist of research and study in a single field.

    ELIGIBILITY: Applicants need not have advanced degrees, but neither candidates for degrees nor persons seeking support for work toward a degree are eligible to apply for Summer Stipends. Persons who have held a major fellowship or research grant or its equivalent during the 1997-98 academic year or during subsequent academic years are ineligible for Summer Stipends. (A "major fellowship or research grant" is a postdoctoral award that provides support for a continuous period of time equal to at least one term of the academic year; that enables the recipient to pursue scholarly research, personal study, professional development, or writing; that provides a stipend of at least $10,000; and that comes from sources other than the recipient's employing institution. Sabbaticals and grants from a person's own institution are not considered major fellowships.)

    SELECTION PROCEDURES: Reviewers consider the significance of the proposed project to the humanities, the quality of the applicant's work, the conception and description of the project, and the likelihood that the work will be accomplished.

    For further information and application materials, persons interested in these programs can use the telephone number and e-mail address provided above, or they can write to: NEH Summer Stipends, Room 318, National Endowment for the Humanities,1100 Pennsylvania Ave., N.W., Washington, D.C. 20506. All applications must be postmarked on or before October 1, 1999. Please note that the Endowment does not accept applications submitted by FAX or e-mail.
