U.S.-Russia Global Environmental Issues/Language Learning Course Study Program with 2-week Study-Abroad

Subject: U.S.-Russia Global Environmental Issues/Language Learning Course Study Program with 2-week Study-Abroad

The Indiana University Bloomington Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures and School of Public and Environmental Affairs, in collaboration with Tyumen State University (TSU), Russia, and Tyumen State Agricultural Academy (TSAA), Russia, present:

Summer 2012
U.S.-RUSSIA GLOBAL ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES/ADVANCED LANGUAGE LEARNING with 2-WEEK STUDY-ABROAD <http://www.iub.edu/~iuslavic/USRussiaEIProgram.shtml>


This program is open to undergraduate and graduate students.

Funding is available (on competitive basis) for students pursuing study
abroad and/or language training under this program. Students applying
for components #2 or #3 of the program will be automatically considered
for language training stipend awards ($1,000, associated with component
#2) and student mobility stipend awards ($3,200 associated with
component #3) to support their participation in the U.S.-Russia Global
Environmental Issues course with 2-week study-abroad (it is a common
application to be considered for all funding). While the program is
open to all IU students, only U.S. citizens and permanent residents are
eligible for stipend awards. Students who complete both components #2
and #3 may receive a maximum award of $4,200. All three components are
required for students taking the study-abroad course (#3)

#1) Jun 12 - July 17, 2012: “Global Environmental Problems and
Solutions” course
#2) Jun 11 - July 19, 2012: “Specialized Russian: Environmental Issues
I” or “Specialized Russian: Environmental Issues II” course
#3) July 22 - August 4, 2012: summer study-abroad course on
environmental issues in Russia

“Global Environmental Problems and Solutions” – 1 credit:
One 2-hr class per week during the first 6 weeks of Summer Session II
This course will join students from Indiana University Bloomington,
Indiana University - Purdue University Indianapolis, Tyumen State
University (Russia), and Tyumen State Agricultural Academy (Russia) via
video conferencing. Participation in this class will serve as a basis
for building bridges of understanding between students at the two
universities and will provide a basic knowledge of environmental issues
in the two countries. The course is taught in English.

The purpose of the class is to introduce a range of environmental
issues from the US and Russia, to compare the history, cultural
context, science, policy, and law of issues shared in common among
these and other countries. We will be focusing on the science and
policy strategies for studying and solving environmental problems, and
on how history and culture affect these.

IU students taking the course (which will be available at the same time
in Bloomington and Indianapolis via distance-learning) are eligible for
scholarships to be used towards the cost of a trip to Tyumen, Russia.
This course is open to undergraduate and graduate students.

“Specialized Russian: Environmental Issues I” and “Specialized Russian:
Environmental Issues II” courses – 2 credits and 1.5 credits:
The Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures in Bloomington is
offering two courses (entry-level and advanced), based on the Russian
language skills needed for the participation in summer study-abroad
course on environmental issues in Russia. The language support will
enable students to function successfully in a foreign language and
culture environment while doing the field work in Tyumen, Russia. Since
participating students from IU Bloomington and IU Indianapolis campuses
may have limited or various prior exposure to Russian, two levels of
Russian training in the areas of language and culture are offered.
Students who take either of these levels of Russian (which will be
available both in Bloomington and Indianapolis via distance-learning)
are eligible for scholarships towards the cost of the trip to Tyumen,
Russia.

“Specialized Russian: Environmental Issues I” – 2 credits:
This course is open to undergraduate and graduate students. The goal
of the intensive Russian survival course is to acquaint the students
with the basic grammatical structures of Russian along with sufficient
vocabulary for a working introduction to the language. The focus of the
course will be on the development of oral skills, with written work
used for reinforcement. Homework will be devoted largely to repetition
and reinforcement while class time, even from the beginning, will be
devoted almost entirely to active practice. Listening and reading
comprehension will be addressed through special materials, which will
also serve as a basis for discussion and oral practice. Readings will
introduce aspects of everyday Russian life, figures, events, and issues
that are crucial to an understanding of Russian culture.

“Specialized Russian: Environmental Issues II” – 1.5 credits:
Prerequisites: SLAV-R 302 or the instructor's permission. This course
is open to undergraduate and graduate students. The course will cover
specific to environmental issues technical terminology, language
functionality in different professional environments, and interview
skills in Russian. Cultural training will prepare the participants for
successful interaction in social and academic situations in Russia.

Global Environmental Issues/Language Learning Field Experience
study-abroad course in Russia - 2 credits:

* COST: $4,800 (this is an approximation subject to changes
depending on the airfare fluctuation).
* DATES: July 22 - August 4, 2012 (subject to change: may be
moved one week)
* APPLICATION DEADLINE: Review of applications will begin on
APRIL 6, 2012

the submission of official transcripts is not required. Student
transcripts will, however, be reviewed via OneStart.
* On-line application.
* Russian language course work - “Specialized Russian:
Environmental Issues I” or “Specialized Russian: Environmental Issues
II” course.
* “Global Environmental Problems and Solutions” course.
* Valid PASSPORT for traveling abroad.
* Non-refundable deposit: $500 (upon acceptance in the Global
Environmental Issues/Language Learning Field Experience class).

This course is for undergraduate or graduate. Previous experience in
environmental science is desirable but not necessary.

The study-abroad portion is a two-week summer trip to the Tyumen
region, to follow the 6-week, 1-unit course in environmental issues and
the main language training. US students will visit field stations at
Lake Kuchak and at Khanty-Mansiysk to participate in limnological and
environmental remediation research at these sites. At TSU and TSAA,
attend lectures given by Russian faculty, and visit the TSU Research
Institute of Ecology and Rational Use Natural Resources, TSU
Technological Park, TSU Water Cleaning start-up company, TSU Faculty of
Biology, TSU Biodiversity Center, and TSAA Agroecology Center to learn
about research questions and techniques. Students will also visit heavy
industry, power production facilities, and natural resources industries
to understand how environmental risk management and pollution abatement
are practiced in the region. In addition, students will learn about
local, regional, and national culture through visits to historical and
new sections of the city, cultural and natural history museums,
theaters, and other activities (e.g., a summer circus).

We are broadly interested in factors that affect children's curiosity, exploration and learning.

Top candidates for this position will have:

· A bachelor’s degree in psychology, cognitive science, linguistics, or a related field
· Experience and demonstrated interest in behavioral or developmental research
· Experience working with young children, parents, and the community, preferably in a research setting
· Administrative and managerial experience
· Basic computer skills -- experience managing databases and experience with reference software (e.g., EndNote) helpful
· Organizational skills, independence and initiative, flexibility, excellent communication skills, and a sense of humor

This position entails:

· Involving parents and children in research
· Testing toddlers and preschool children on research protocols
· Managing and maintaining materials for participant recruitment, including consent forms, human subject materials, etc.

Summer Undergraduate Research Internship at the Gopnik Cog. Dev. Lab at UC Berkeley

The Gopnik Cognitive Development Lab at UC Berkeley led by Dr. Alison Gopnik is happy to announce their new summer research internship. The internship will run from June 1st until August 17th (dates flexible). We are accepting applications now through April 16th. Please note that this internship is unpaid.

Our Research: Our lab explores how children create intuitive theories about the world, other people, and themselves. We are particularly interested in how children come to understand the causal structure of their physical and social environment (i.e. how certain events make other events occur). Our current projects investigate the role of children’s causal learning in imitation, trait attribution, pretense, explanation, pedagogy, and even free will. More information about our lab can be found at www.alisongopnik.com.

Our Summer Internship Program: The summer research internship is for dedicated and motivated undergraduate students interested in pursuing a graduate degree in developmental psychology or a related field. Interns will work closely with a graduate student or postdoctoral fellow assisting them on all aspects of the research process. Interns will help with experimental and stimuli design, recruiting participants and collecting data, analyzing data, and literature reviews. Interns will meet regularly with their mentors to discuss the theoretical motivations of the studies they are working on as well as the findings of other empirical papers both related to the studies in the lab and important to the field in general. Interns will also meet with their mentors more casually to ask them questions about their experience in the field and to receive guidance on their own future plans. The internship will culminate with an undergraduate research colloquium in which interns will give a talk or present a poster on the work they did throughout the summer.

Interns will be expected to work 15-20 hours per week including weekends. Prior research experience is appreciated though not required. Experience working with children either formally or informally is essential.

How to Apply: If you would be interested in applying, please send the following information to our Lab Manager, Sophie Bridgers (sophie.bridgers@gmail.com), with the subject line “Summer Internship.”
A brief cover letter explaining your interest in the internship, experience working with children, relevant coursework, and research experience (if you have prior experience).
Resume highlighting your experience working with children and your research experience (if you have prior experience).
Unofficial Transcript
Tentative weekly availability for the summer detailing the hours you will generally be available Mon. – Sun. (please do not include unavailable hours).
If you have any questions about the application and/or selection process, please contact Sophie Bridgers.

BU Child Cognition Lab - Summer Internship

The Boston University Child Cognition Lab, under the direction of Dr. Deb Kelemen, is now accepting applications for its Summer Internship Program.

The lab is currently investigating a wide range of topics including:
- Developmental change in explanations of living and non-living natural phenomena
- Children's tool use behavior and reasoning about human made objects 


- How children learn social norms and cultural conventions
- Cross-cultural differences and similarities in religion-relevant explanatory biases
- Biology education in early elementary school children

Summer interns will be fully involved in every aspect of the research process. They will help to recruit families, run studies with toddlers, elementary-school children and adults, as well as code, analyze and interpret data. Interns are also expected to be intellectually involved in the research questions by reading assigned research articles, participating in scheduled weekly lab meetings, and providing their own mindful critiques. The internship is a great way to prepare for graduate study, learn research methods, and make connections with new mentors.

Summer interns work with children and their families on a daily basis, and as such must be mature, articulate, and comfortable communicating with others, especially children. Successful candidates will also show strong motivation for the lab’s research, have a positive attitude, strong work ethic, and excellent academic credentials. Desirable background experience includes coursework in developmental and experimental psychology, basic computer skills, and an ability to work well in a highly collaborative, team-oriented environment.

The internship will involve a minimum commitment of 10 weeks between May 14 and August 31, and a minimum of 20 hours per week.

Who can apply? The internship is open to all undergraduate students, including those graduating in 2012. It is particularly suited for students considering graduate school in developmental psychology, experimental psychology or cognitive science.

How can I apply? All interested applicants should send a resume, cover letter and list of two references to the Lab Manager, Becca Seston, rseston[at]bu.edu.
Your cover letter should include responses to the following four general questions:

1. Have you had any experience with children?
2. Have you had any research experience in another lab? If so, what did you do?
3. What are your career/educational goals? What are you hoping to gain from the internship?
4. How would you describe yourself (e.g., your academic and recreational interests, your personality)?

Deadline: Applicants will be considered until March 16th.
