    Subject: Summer Internships at Sun Microsystems Laboratories


    Summer Internships at Sun Microsystems Laboratories (Chelmsford, MA) Sun Microsystems Laboratories (Chelmsford, Massachusetts, 25 minutes from Boston) is seeking students to fill summer internships within the Conceptual Indexing project, a research project that focuses on the use of natural language processing and knowledge representation techniques to improve information access.

    We are seeking individuals to contribute to the development of technologies for intelligent document analysis as well as to the design and implemention of a prototype for an information service which helps bridge people through shared interests. Much of the software will be written in Java with some external extensions to C and C++ systems. The position requires object-oriented development experience (non-classroom experience perferred), good design practices and principles, and the ability to learn quickly and interact well within a project group. The candidates will be expected to participate in ongoing design discussions and take responsibility for the completion of well-defined modules within the proposed system. A strong interest in one of the following areas is required: natural language processing, knowledge representation, information retrieval, user-interface design and the World Wide Web. A candidate should be able to demonstrate strong creativity as well as a good intuition for software design. Position is open to graduate students as well as exceptional undergraduates.
