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. This internship is open to any undergraduate interested in cognitive developmental research. Students from primarily undergraduate institutions are strongly encouraged to apply.
