Research Assistant Internship in Child Social Cognition
George Washington UniversityThe Social Cognition Lab of the George Washington University is located in downtown Washington, blocks away from the White House and the National Mall. We are currently searching for dedicated and experienced research interns for the summer of 2012. Our research focuses on the development of mechanisms mediating social and cultural learning. Interested students are encouraged to visit our website for more information (www.subiaul.com).
Research interns will have the opportunity to gain experience in socio-cognitive development by becoming directly involved in multiple levels of research. Tasks include: subject recruitment, data collection, data entry, data analysis and interpretation of results. The ideal candidates would be current undergraduates or recent graduates concentrating in cognitive science, psychology, or a related field. Priority will be given to students with previous experience working in developmental psychology laboratories or more general experiences working with infants and/or pre-school age children. Interns are expected to commit 15-20 hours per week from the end of May until early/mid-August. A $1,000 stipend will be offered to interns.
Interested students are encouraged to send a CV to Brian Schilder (schilder@gwu.edu) before May 15th. Applicants should include all relevant research experience with children as well as the name and contact information of at least one recent supervisor.
