Description:
Join us at Stanford for an interdisciplinary summer research experience
program in the cognitive sciences!

At the Center for the Study of Language and Information, interns will work
closely with a faculty, postdoc, or grad student mentor on an original
cognitive science research project. They will gain experience developing the
project, collecting data, and analyzing the results. In addition to their
individual projects, interns will attend weekly mentorship meetings and
seminars with such topics as reading a scientific paper, introduction to data
analysis, statistics and visualization, and presentation skills. The program
will culminate with each intern presenting their work to an interdisciplinary
audience. Accepted students will receive on-campus housing and a stipend to
cover food, travel, and other expenses.

The topical focus of the program will be on language, learning, computation,
and cognition, with an emphasis on giving students the skills they need to
complete an independent project. Mentors will be from cognitive science
departments across Stanford, including psychology, linguistics, computer
science, and philosophy.

The program is 8 weeks, from 6/25/18 - 8/17/18, and is primarily intended for
rising college Juniors and Seniors, though we will consider other applicants
as well. Applications are due by midnight on February 16, 2018.  One goal of
the internship is to increase the diversity of the higher education pipeline,
and we therefore especially encourage applicants who come from groups that are
historically underrepresented in research careers, such as Black/African
American, Latinx/Hispanic, American Indian or Alaskan Native, Pacific
Islander, and first-generation college students.  We also welcome applications
from students without prior research experience and from non-research
institutions.  For more information and an application form, please see

Application Deadline: 16-Feb-2018
