The Play, Learning, Arts, and Youth Lab at George Mason University, under the direction of Dr. Thalia Goldstein, is now accepting applications for our annual paid Summer Internship Program. Our research explores how children and adults engage with the arts, fiction, and imagination, and how such engagement intersects with their social skills. We use methods such as qualitative coding, in-lab experiments, and field-based research in science centers, schools, and theaters. For information about the lab, please visit the lab’s homepage at https://playlab.gmu.edu/
This internship will provide interns with the opportunity to work with Dr. Goldstein and the lab’s graduate students on both ongoing and new studies. Current lab projects are at various stages of development including design, data collection, data preparation and coding, analyses, and write up. Interns will be able to be involved with a wide range of activities over the course of the internship, including new project preparation and ideas, participant recruitment, data collection, analyzing data, and preparing presentation of results. The internship will also involve weekly lab meetings and professional seminars.
The internship takes place in person at our lab in Fairfax, Virginia. Interns have the option of working full time (40 hours per week) or half time (20 hours per week). Some evening and/or weekend work may be required for data collection given the availability of participants. Start and end dates are flexible, although a minimum 8-week commitment is required.
A stipend will be given to all interns, however, applicants are highly encouraged to also apply for support from their own universities. We anticipate hiring 2-4 interns depending on funding and availability.
The internship is open to all undergraduate students, including those graduating in 2025, and recent college graduates. It is particularly well suited for students considering graduate school in psychology or cognitive science.
Please complete the application form before March 1 to apply for the paid 2025 PLAYLab summer internship at George Mason University. Please direct any questions to Dr. Thalia Goldstein at tgoldste@gmu.edu
