The Cooperation Lab at Boston College directed by
Katherine McAuliffe is seeking motivated, reliable and enthusiastic summer
research assistants who would like to gain experience with research in social
cognitive development. Research in the lab focuses on the development of
cooperative abilities in children, with a particular focus on how children
develop a sense of fairness.
Internship Description
Summer
research responsibilities include participant recruitment, help running studies
both in the lab and in outdoor spaces, debriefing parents, data entry and video
coding. Additionally, research assistants will be involved in an informal
reading and research group and will gain hands-on experience working with data.
Research assistants will work closely with other team members and will be
supervised by the Cooperation Lab’s director and lab manager.
In
addition to gaining experience with all aspects of our research, the lab will
be hosting a high school summer internship program and assistants will have the
opportunity to mentor high school students in the latter part of their
internship.
Eligibility
and requirements
Research
assistants are asked to commit approximately 40 hours per week to research in
the lab and should be open to the possibility of testing outdoors and on
weekends. The internship will be 10-11 weeks starting around the
beginning of June. These are unpaid positions so students are
encouraged to seek funding from outside sources and/or their home institutions.
Anyone
is welcome to apply. To do so, please complete our online
application and send a CV or resume to lmcooperation@gmail.com with
the subject line “Summer 2017 Research Assistant Application”. There is no
deadline for submission but we are eager to find motivated assistants as soon
as possible and so we'll review applications as they come in.
