The Infant Cognition Center at Yale University, directed by Karen Wynn, is accepting applications for a two-month summer internship program, which runs from June 1 to August 6, 2010 (flexible).
Interns will have the opportunity to work closely with graduate students on new and ongoing studies, participating fully in all aspects of the research process. Interns will become familiar with experimental methods used in infant studies, and will immediately become involved in recruiting and testing participants, study design and setup, and coding/analysis of results. Interns will also attend a weekly lab meeting where we discuss the theoretical motivation for our studies, experimental data, and relevant research findings from other labs. Information about our research can be found at www.yale.edu/infantlab.
In addition, interns will have the chance to learn about and interact with other developmental psychology labs at Yale, and attend sessions organized by professors and graduate students on topics such as applying to graduate school. Interns are encouraged to join graduate students and other researchers from across the department in fun activities such as kickball games, bowling, barbecues, and karaoke nights.
The internship will involve a commitment of 15 to 25 hours a week.
Undergraduate students at all stages are welcome to apply. The internship is best suited to students interested in pursuing graduate studies in developmental, social, or cognitive psychology.
To apply, please fill out an application form on our website at www.yale.edu/infantlab/Research_Opportunities.html. Please email Rita at yalebaby@yale.edu with any questions.
