The Department of Psychology at Northern Arizona University offers an exciting and intellectually stimulating Summer Research Internship in Social, Developmental, Health, and Cognitive Neuroscience Psychology (SDHCNP) in Flagstaff the summer of 2008. This summer REU experience is designed to offer qualified undergraduates the opportunity to collaborate with Department doctoral faculty in all stages of psychological research, including generation of individualized research hypotheses related to faculty/student intern research interests, creation of an appropriate research methodology, configuration of research procedures and protocols, collection, analysis, and interpretation of data, professional presentation of outcomes at local and regional/national conferences, and possible participation in publication manuscript preparation and submission. Interns will not only enjoy these direct, closely supervised, hands-on original research experiences in individual faculty laboratories provided by an experienced, productive, and stimulating faculty research mentor, but will also participate in educational seminars on various aspects of scientific research, professional educational and career development seminars, weekly noon science symposia, a variety of educational, cultural, environmental, and social activities, and co-participation of Psychology REU students with REU students from other programs in seminars, lectures, and local research presentations. Students will thus participate in a collegial manner in original, creative, and pioneering psychological research. Click on the links below for a more detailed description of the summer activities.
