*Summer Internship in Child Development, Johns Hopkins University.*
Applications are now being accepted for the 2020 Johns Hopkins
University Laboratory for Child Development’s

Summer Internship Program. Summer interns will receive mentorship by
faculty, post docs, and graduate students, and will learn all aspects of
cognitive development research. Under the direction of Drs. Lisa
Feigenson and Justin Halberda, the Lab is currently investigating a
range of issues including memory development, numerical abilities,
logical reasoning, and language acquisition, in populations including
young infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and adults.
Summer interns participate fully in all aspects of research, including
recruiting participants, testing infants and children in behavioral
tasks, coding and analyzing data, and interpreting and presenting
results. Interns also participate in guided readings of developmental
literature, and attend laboratory meetings where we discuss ongoing
projects or current issues in the field of cognitive development.
Students will work primarily in the Psychological & Brain Sciences
building of Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland, and may
also work at our testing site at the Maryland Science Center in
Baltimore’s Inner Harbor.
2020 will be the 15th year of our annual summer program, which has been
enormously successful in instilling students with a love of basic
research, preparing them for graduate study, and forming friendships
that last well beyond the duration of the program.
Summer interns have daily contact with children and their parents, and
as such must be mature, articulate, and comfortable communicating with
others. Successful candidates will be able to demonstrate enthusiasm for
the research being conducted, a strong work ethic, and an excellent
academic record. Desirable background experience includes coursework in
developmental and/or experimental psychology, computer skills, and an
ability to work in a highly collaborative, team-oriented environment.
Previous experience working with children under 10 years old is a
requirement.
The 2020 Program will run from Monday, June 1 - Friday, July 31, and
will be full time. Summer stipends up to $1800 will be available to
excellent applicants. Applicants are also encouraged to seek and apply
for funding from their home institution or other sources.

*Paid Summer Research Internship in Math Education, University of
Wisconsin-Madison.*
The UW-Madison Math Education Learning and Development (MELD) Lab is now
accepting applications for our paid 2020 Summer Internship
for traditionally underrepresented students. Under the direction of
Percival Matthews, https://www.jsmf.org/grants/20180009/
<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/www.jsmf.org/grants/20180009/__;!!C5qS4YX3!UijacLxEwbYvNAdvunripjEHvhdJt1rUWW6ULwJ5rKQsxEq5fh6afAEln6nSnioSfg$>). Summer
interns will receive mentorship by faculty and graduate students and
will learn all aspects of cognitive development research.
Because projects are at various stages of completion (from pre-design to
post-data collection), interns will be able to be involved with a wide
range of activities over the course of the internship. Activities may
include developing new project ideas, designing new experiments,
recruiting participants, running existing experiments, analyzing data,
and presenting results. Interns also participate in guided readings of
psychological literature, and attend laboratory meetings where we
discuss ongoing projects or current issues in the field of
cognitive development. Students will work primarily in the Educational
Sciences Building.
Successful candidates will be able to demonstrate enthusiasm for the
research being conducted, a strong work ethic, and an excellent academic
record. Interns will often be in contact with children and their
parents, and as such must be mature, articulate, and comfortable
communicating with others. Desirable background experience
includes coursework in developmental and/or experimental psychology,
computer skills, an ability to work in a highly collaborative,
team-oriented environment, and previous research experience.
The 2020 Summer Internship will run full-time (40 hours per week), and
you may apply for two separate iterations of the program:
- A 10 week version, run in conjunction with the UW-Madison School
of Education’s Summer Education Research Program (runs June 15 – August 21)
- A 6 week version (runs June 15 – July 24)
Note that we may potentially allow some flexibility around the starting
and ending dates. Summer stipends will be available for up to two
excellent applicants to either version. Applicants selected for the
10-week version will also have housing and health care covered by
the internship. *To be fully considered for the internship, ALL
application materials must be received by February 15, 2020.*
Applications for both the 6-week and 10-week versions are to
be submitted via the same SERP link:
https://srop-uwmadison.fluidreview.com/
<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/srop-uwmadison.fluidreview.com/__;!!C5qS4YX3!UijacLxEwbYvNAdvunripjEHvhdJt1rUWW6ULwJ5rKQsxEq5fh6afAEln6lxP1BcEA$>
Both require that you complete five tasks:
• Applicant Information & Education Form
• Program(s) Selection
• Essay Form
• Transcripts Upload
• Request Recommendations
*NOTE: The application is initially routed to a separate review board.
To ensure your application is routed to the MELD lab, be sure that in
the required essay you explicitly refer to your interest in working with
Percival Matthews’ MELD lab and speak to your*
