Summer Research Opportunities for Undergraduate Students

Summer internships are open to students from all colleges and universities.

Research Internship

This track is encouraged for undergraduate students who are in their first, second, or third year of college and are looking for an introduction to autism research. We ask interns to commit to 10 weeks of work for 20 to 30 hours per week between the end of May and the end of August.

Interns are also required to attend a weekly professional development seminar and academic journal club led by doctoral students. Interns are also asked to observe behavioral, cognitive, and electroencephalogram (EEG) testing sessions of children, adolescents, and adults with ASD.
