This 9-week Internship involves hands-on research experience and training in the fields of cognitive psychology and developmental psychology.
Responsibility: The Interns will play key roles in ongoing research projects investigating higher cognition, and will participate in planning and developing several new ventures. Specific responsibilities will include developing stimuli, scheduling and running subjects, analyzing data, maintaining lab computer equipment, as well as miscellaneous office and administrative duties. Interested Interns will also have the opportunity for hands-on experience with statistical software and web site design.
Opportunity: The Interns in our lab tend to be involved in every phase of the research process--a very rewarding experience for all concerned.
We strive to nurture competence by giving Interns far greater levels of training, responsibility and independence than is customary in most psychology labs. We are also committed to maintaining a relaxed, close-knit team spirit, and a level of excitement and fun about our work. The Internship is a terrific opportunity for motivated self-starters interested in research experience. It is ideally suited for a person seriously considering graduate school in cognitive or developmental psychology.
Focus: This full-time Internship involves research in cognitive/ developmental psychology. Our research interests are fairly broad. At a very general level, we are investigating how knowledge is organized, and in how that organization unfolds in the course of development.
Details: The internship is open to all undergraduate students. The full-time schedule is approximately 35 hours/week, and the internship is 9 weeks long (June 7 - August 6), with a week off for July 4.
Applying: The application and further information can be found on our website, http://www.yale.edu/cogdevlab/summer.htm If you have any questions, please e-mail Jonathan Kominsky at cogdevlab@yale.edu

2010 UCLA Psychology Undergraduate Research Conference
Dear Psychology Research Faculty:
It is with great excitement that I write this letter to announce the application deadline for the 2010 UCLA Psychology Undergraduate Research Conference. PURC will be on Friday, May 14th, 2010 at UCLA and will showcase approximately 100 undergraduate psychology research projects in poster and paper talk sessions.
We are looking for a diverse representation of campuses and we would like to see more applicants from Indiana University–Bloomington. We are looking for high quality abstracts written by undergraduate researchers in your department. Students must submit the application and fees online by Friday, February 26th, 2010. The application and details are available at http://purc.psych.ucla.edu/.
If you’re hesitant about sending this to your students because of the distance, or because of the date, keep in mind that many of your undergraduates may call Southern California home, and others would love to travel to a conference city where the beaches are warm and sunny—especially if they are at the end of their own academic year.
If you have questions, feel free to contact me.
Sincerely,
Sarah Bejarano

SSF aims to immerse advanced undergraduate students in the science of psychology by exposing them to the excitement and promise of the best of psychological science. Our principal objective is to inform these students about the science of psychology and its promise for the future, and help prepare them for the rigors of graduate study in psychological science.
An expenses-paid, intensive summer training program, the SSF will place up to 10 talented students in the psychology laboratories of some of the most outstanding researchers in the Washington, DC area.
The lab experience will be six weeks in length. The SSF program gives students an opportunity to explore the intellectual, personal, and social processes of scientific inquiry and to experience cutting- edge psychological research through hands-on laboratory activities.
SSF offers promising students the opportunity to equip themselves with skills essential to succeed in graduate school, and gives students who plan to pursue advanced degrees in psychological science the opportunity to be mentored by nationally-known faculty.
The 2010 program is expected to run from June 20 to July 31. APA will pay students a summer salary, as well as cover all travel and living expenses. This should make the program financially feasible for most college students.
Eligibility is strictly limited to those who are currently juniors at US or Canadian colleges and universities. Applicants should be psychology majors, although students with related preparation may apply if they expect to enter a psychological science graduate program. International students enrolled in US or Canadian colleges are eligible; US citizenship is not required. Students from underrepresented groups are especially encouraged to apply.
In 2010, placements may be available in the following areas of psychology. Final word on the involvement of specific faculty and labs will be made closer to the time of student selection.
Applied Developmental Psychology
Biopsychology
Clinical Psychology
Human Factors and Applied Cognitive Psychology Industrial Organizational Psychology School Psychology

Psychology and Law REU Program at UNL
The National Science Foundation awarded the University of Nebraska/Lincoln Law and Psychology Program a grant to house and train undergraduate psychology students interested in psychology and law.
This Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program brings 8 to 10 undergraduate students to UNL to study law and psychology for an academic year. Undergraduate students are provided with room and board, along with a stipend for working in UNL law and psychology research laboratories. They spend time working with UNL joint law and psychology doctoral (JD/ Ph.D and MLS/Ph.D.) students. The University of Nebraska/Lincoln faculty mentors these undergraduate students, helping them gain valuable experience to assist in preparing them for graduate school in psychology. As you can see from the UNL website (address provided below), in the last five years, REU students have had a rewarding academic experience at UNL as shown by some of their comments. This year UNL accepted 10 new students as their fifth class and they all finished the fall semester and are going on to the spring semester. Next year UNL will accept their sixth class of REU students beginning in summer of 2010. The website describes the program in detail. The program description and application materials are available on the following website:
http://www.unl.edu/psychlawreu/
UNL will begin selecting REU students on March 1, 2010. UNL will continue accepting applications until all slots are filled. Students who apply early will have an advantage in this competitive selection process.

Summer Research Opportunity
The Pittsburgh Science of Learning Center (PSLC) at Carnegie Mellon and the University of Pittsburgh has an exciting summer research opportunity available to undergraduate students. This program encourages applications from students who would like to do research in the fields of psychology, education, computer science, human-computer interfaces and language technologies. The PSLC's program provides support for talented undergraduates to spend 8 or 10 weeks during the summer working in a research laboratory at Carnegie Mellon University or the University of Pittsburgh. The program aims to encourage the participation of underrepresented students in our graduate programs and to make the PSLC's programs more visible to students not traditionally exposed to our fields. The program supports the PSLC's commitment to training a diverse set of science, technology, education, and psychology leaders. Applications will be considered from eligible students without regard to gender, race, or ethnicity.
