Subject: Supervised Research in the Vocal Development Lab - Apply by May 4

The Vocal Development Lab is looking for motivated undergraduates interested in assisting graduate students in experimental psychology research for Summer and Fall 2010. Our lab studies how infants learn language during social interactions with their caregivers.

If you are interested in learning how to conduct research, and have at least 10 hours available per week during the fall or 20 hours a week during the summer, we are looking for you. In addition to valuable research experience, you will receive lab class credit. More importantly, if you are considering graduate school, this is a great opportunity to see what working in a lab is really like. You will attend weekly lab meetings, run subjects in experiments, score and analyze data, and help design new experiments.

No prior lab experience is necessary, but relevant skills such as experience working with infants may be considered.

Please include the following information:

Your Name

Year in School (freshman, sophomore, etc.)

Number of hours available to work and tentative time blocks available

Major (declared or undeclared)

GPA

Psychology/Cognitive Science/Computer Science classes (taken or will be taking)

Have you worked in any other labs?

Why are you interested in working in this lab?

Experience working with children?

Are you interested in working during the summer or fall or both?

Also, please attach a resume and a transcript.

Please send all applications to Jennifer Miller at jlm19@indiana.edu

We will begin reviewing applications on May 4, 2010. Any applications received after that may not receive full consideration.
