The School of Linguistics and Language Studies at Carleton University is offering up to two funded graduate student positions at the MA level (1–2 years), beginning in September 2022. These positions are part of the project 21st Century Tools for Indigenous Languages (https://21c.tools/), funded by a Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) Partnership Grant in 2019–2026 and hosted by the Alberta Language Technology Lab (ALTLab; https://altlab.ualberta.ca/) at the University of Alberta.
The 21st Century Tools for Indigenous Languages project is developing language technological models, tools, and resources for Indigenous languages in Canada. This includes: intelligent electronic dictionaries, linguistically analyzed collections of spoken and written texts, spell-checkers, language learning and practice tools, and word form analyzers and generators. All our tools are created in close collaboration with Indigenous communities in order to facilitate and support the use of their languages in all spheres of life by community members.
More information about these positions and the application process is now available on the Partnership’s website (URL below):
