No permission needed for PACE-C 400 Issues Forum, class 25982

Students do not need permission to enroll in the main section of PACE-C 400. That is class #25982.

[The other section that requires permission is for the students who are training as facilitators of the small group dialogues and deliberation. That class will not accommodate any additions.]
*****************************************************

To advisors:
This is a fun and enriching 1-credit experience that students of any major as well as international students would find interesting. Each year students say they are pleasantly surprised by how engaging the day’s activities are (as they did not expect to have so much fun on a Saturday course). We are using a new venue this year to accommodate about 100 students, though much of the day is spent in small group activities. And the students have chosen a great topic this year – The Internet! Would you please send the message to your students and consider recommending the course this week and through the rest of January?

*******************************************************

Hello,

The program in Political and Civic Engagement – PACE – invites any interested student at IUB to enroll in the

Temple Infant and Child Lab Summer Internship

Are you interested in exploring psychology beyond class work? Do you want to go to graduate school? Do you want hands-on experience with cutting-edge research?

If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, then the Temple University Infant and Child Lab might be a great place for you to spend your summer vacation!

Who we are:

The Temple Infant and Child Lab, directed by Professors Kathy Hirsh-Pasek and Nora Newcombe, conducts research on language acquisition, parent-child play interactions, spatial learning, and memory development both in theory and application. We ask such questions as how do children learn their very first words? What contexts help children learn? When do certain spatial abilities develop? Exploring these types of research questions helps both parents and professionals better understand learning and development in infants and young children.

About the internship:

We are currently looking for bright, energetic students who are eager to peer into the world of children and developmental psychology. These student interns will receive hands-on experience in every step of the research process. Duties include recruiting participants, helping design and create experimental stimuli, running participants, and coding and analyzing data. Each intern will also be paired with a graduate student mentor who will guide the intern with readings and serve as a resource for questions about research and graduate school.

In addition to the spectacular experience, we may be able to offer 4 credit hours or possibly an honorarium of $1,000 to qualified applicants. There is also a specific recruitment effort for underrepresented minority students.

Requirements:

(1) Applicants are majors in psychology or related fields.
(2) Applicants must have basic computer skills.
(3) Applicants must be reliable and able to commit to 20-30 hours/week for 8 weeks between June and August 2012.

To apply:

If you are interested in this opportunity, please send the following to our lab coordinator, Melissa Hansen, (melissa.hansen@temple.com):

(1) Intern Application from our website under “Intern/Jobs”: http://www.temple.edu/infantlab/
(2) A resume indicating your academic and volunteer experiences(2) Your availability during the summer (e.g., number of hours per week)

Applications must be submitted by Friday, March 16th, 2012. Late applications will only be considered if positions remain open.

Any questions?
Please contact Melissa Hansen, Lab Coordinator at (267) 468-8610 or melissa.hansen@temple.edu. Additional information about our lab can also be found on our website: http://www.temple.edu/infantlab/

Summer Research Internship in Infant Cognition

Research Assistant Internship in Infant Cognition – Boston College Infant and Child Cognition Lab
Dr. Sara Cordes’ Infant and Child Cognition Lab (http://www.cordeslab.org/) located on the main campus of Boston College is looking for motivated and enthusiastic undergraduates interested in participating in a summer internship in developmental psychology. This is a great opportunity for students looking to gain valuable research experience and to expand their knowledge in the fields of infant and child cognition.

Each intern will have a primary research project to focus on, gaining valuable experience in experimental design, working with infants and children, subject recruitment, data coding and analysis, and much more.
The internship will take place over a 10-week period beginning in June 2012. Interns will receive a $1,000 stipend for participation in the program.
