Seeking Interns for Summer 2018

Do you have experience using and manipulating spreadsheets and databases, strong writing and organizational skills, an ability to juggle multiple tasks with different timelines, and intellectual curiosity?

Are you interested in early intervention or special education and have knowledge/skills in education or related research fields (e.g., psychology)? Are you interested in learning about how a federal agency makes awards and manages research grants?

The National Center for Special Education Research (NCSER) is seeking upper-level college students and graduate students to be volunteer (unpaid) summer interns. NCSER is one of the two U.S. Department of Education Research Centers, located within the Institute of Education Sciences, supporting rigorous research to improve the education and development of children with or at risk for disabilities. Summer interns learn about education research activities supported by NCSER and assist in the Center’s ability to communicate this work to practitioners, policymakers, researchers, and other stakeholders. Interns collaborate with multiple staff members on a number of special projects. Start date, work days, and hours are negotiable.

Examples of what previous summer interns have accomplished

Improved the Center’s coding and analysis of research projects (e.g., building and updating databases, cataloging projects by methodological or research foci)
Written summaries of projects and issues for broad audiences
Coordinated social media efforts (e.g., Tweeting, blogging)
Coordinated and attended meetings, briefings, and/or trainings

Examples of what previous summer interns have gained

Learned about research methods and current research in the field
Developed plain-language writing and editing skills
Received a behind-the-scenes look at how grant making and federal agencies work
Learned about alternative career paths for academics
Attended briefings and other events in the U.S. Department of Education and other federal offices

How to apply

You must submit your application through the Department’s general application and specify the Institute of Education Sciences as well as the National Center for Special Education Research.
Send a copy of your resume and cover letter to Amy.Sussman@ed.gov along with information on the dates you would be available for the internship.

The deadline is March 15, 2018

PIER-REU: Summer Research Experience for Undergraduate Students at Carnegie Mellon University

Applications are available at https://www.cmu.edu/pier/research-undergrad/index.html.

Applications are due via email by February 23, 2018.

The Program in Interdisciplinary Education Research (PIER) at Carnegie Mellon University offers an exciting summer research opportunity available to undergraduate students. This program is designed to provide research opportunities to undergraduates who may be considering pursuing graduate training in the learning sciences. We encourage applications from students who would like to conduct research at the interface of the learning sciences and one or more of the following disciplines: psychology, education, computer science, and human-computer interaction. We also encourage students who are from underrepresented groups to apply, including racial/ethnic minorities, first-generation college students, economically disadvantaged students, veterans, and students with disabilities.

PIER’s REU program allows talented undergraduates to spend 8 weeks during the summer in a research laboratory at Carnegie Mellon University. This program supports our commitment to training a diverse set of leaders in the field of learning science and related disciplines.

Applications are encouraged from students who wish to learn to conduct research in a modern academic research laboratory under the guidance of experienced scientists. The REU program will expose students to the excitement and opportunities of a research career. This experience will provide excellent preparation for students interested in subsequently pursuing Masters or Ph.D. degrees in psychology, education, learning science, human-computer interaction, and related areas of scientific inquiry. Although students from other years may apply, this opportunity is most fitting for a student at the end of the junior year of undergraduate studies.

Each student will receive a fellowship stipend of $3,000 for the eight-week REU program. Apartment-style housing will also be provided. Guidance and supervision will be provided by faculty members as well as, in some cases, a postdoctoral fellow and/or advanced graduate student.

Additionally, admitted students will participate in the Go Research! Summer Program at CMU. This program brings together undergraduate researchers from across departments. Students live in dorms with resident assistants to facilitate community building, manage housing, and provide programming. A Summer Seminar Series is provided for all students to help prepare for graduate education and research careers.
