Summer Psychology Internship Program at the University of California, Santa Barbara
The Self and Intergroup Relations Laboratory (Director: Dr. Brenda Major) in the Psychology Department at the University of California, Santa Barbara is currently accepting applications from talented undergraduates for a summer research internship in social psychology.
Program Description:
The UCSB-SIRL Psychology Internship is a 6 week program (June 25-August 3, 2007) for undergraduate students who wish to receive training and conduct research investigating topics in prejudice and intergroup relations. Interns will spend approximately 30 hours/week working on current research projects in our lab with Professor Major and graduate student researchers. Work will include conducting experimental sessions, reading/searching background literature, and coding and analyzing data. Students will receive training in how to conduct social psychological research using psychophysiological measures. In addition, participants will attend weekly seminars and tutorials on issues in social psychology and applying to graduate school. Students will also have opportunities to participate in social events with our other summer interns and graduate students, and take advantage of Santa Barbara’s beautiful setting, cultural activities, and attractions.
The internship does not cover the cost of housing, traveling, or living expenses. Accepted applicants must make their own arrangements for summer housing. We also encourage you to find out about funding and academic credit opportunities within your university.
