================================================================  

The LINGUIST List strongly encourages employers to use
non-discriminatory standards in hiring policy. In particular we urge
that employers do not discriminate on the grounds of race, ethnicity,
nationality, age, religion, gender, or sexual orientation. However, we
have no means of enforcing these standards.

Description:
Internship positions at The Language Acquisition Research Center are a great opportunity for those taking time between undergraduate and graduate work to gain more experience. LARC investigates first and second language acquisition in young children and adults, as well as artificial language learning, computer modeling of acquisition, and language use. We use a wide variety of techniques and materials to answer basic questions about syntactic competence and performance. For more information about LARC, see our website. Interns on the projects at LARC assist in: 
- the recording, transcribing, and analyzing of child and adult learners' spontaneous speech 
- the development of materials for use in production and comprehension tasks 
- performing studies with child and adult participants 
- analyzing spontaneous speech data and experimental data 
- recruiting child and adult participants
