Summer Internships with Temple University's Infant and Child Lab!

Summer 2013 Internships: Temple University Infant and Child Lab

Description:
The Temple Infant and Child Lab is offering summer internships to bright, energetic students who are eager to peer into the world of child development. Directed by Professors Kathy Hirsh-Pasek and Nora Newcombe, the lab conducts both theoretical and applied research on language acquisition, parent-child play interactions, memory development, and spatial learning in children aged 2 months to 10 years.

Summer interns will receive hands-on experience in every step of the research process. Each intern will also be paired with graduate student or post-doctoral fellow mentors who will serve as a resource for questions about their areas of research and graduate school.

There is also a specific recruitment effort for underrepresented minority students.
