[CogSci] Paid undergraduate summer internship in acquisition of diverse languages

[Joshua Hartshorne]

We will be able to host 1-2 summer interns for a 10-week internship from
June 1 to Aug 8 in Boston focused on acquisition of diverse languages.
Interns will receive a stipend of $7,000 and a living expenses
supplement of $3,000 (for a total of $10,000) in installments over the
summer for a 40-hour work week.

This is a corpus-based project, so interns will be helping prepare and
analyze corpora. We may run one or two studies with adults online. We
will not be running any studies with kids this summer for this project.

In addition, interns will attend research meetings, a reading group, and
be generally embedded in the daily life of the lab. 

Required qualifications include:
* Be a US citizen, national, or permanent resident
* Be a current undergraduate (seniors who graduate in May are also
eligible)
* Being able to be in person in Boston June 1 to Aug 8.

Competitive candidates will additionally have at least one of the
following qualifications.
* Advanced proficiency in a language other than English
* Experience with NLP or computational modeling
* Linguistics major

The exact languages we will be working on this summer is still TBD, but
we will definitely be working on Mandarin, Japanese, and the Formosan
languages, so speakers of those languages are particularly encouraged to
apply.

Students who have strong programming skills will be able to put those to
use, but this is not a requirement. Prior research experience is nice
but by no means critical.

Our main lab space is located in Charlestown, on the water.
