Summer Internship Position @ Cornell University, Ithaca NY

The Developmental Moral Psychology Lab (DMPL) at Cornell University (PI: Audun Dahl) invites applications for their Summer 2025 Internship Program!

How do children figure out that helping is good and harming is bad? And how do we learn to deal with exceptions and disagreements about morality, religion, and social norms? DMPL is looking for summer interns to join our research on morality across the lifespan.

Interns will participate in all phases of our research, from literature discussions and study design to participant recruitment, data collection, and data coding. They will also complete an independent project.

Interns will spend approximately 30 hours per week in person in the lab on the Cornell campus for six weeks (June 2 - July 12). To help with the costs of travel and housing, the lab provides a $1,000 stipend. They will also work with interns to secure additional funding from their home institution or other sources.

Eligibility: At the time of the internship, applicants must

• be a current undergraduate student, ideally in developmental psychology, cognitive science, moral psychology, or related field.
• be a U.S. citizen, green card holder, or student visa holder (F1, J1) 
• have experience with children (e.g., babysitting, childcare, research)
• (ideally) have prior research experience
