Undergraduate Research & Fellowship Opportunities

The Psychology department has established a Google group, Psychology Internships and Positions, to disseminate information about psychology research assistant positions, summer internships, full-time positions in research labs, clinical opportunities, etc.  If you would like to join the group, please visit https://groups.google.com/d/forum/psychopportunities and click the “apply for membership” link using your Cornell email address.  The list is open to Cornell undergraduates only.  
 
Once you are in the group, you can choose how you receive information.  You can receive all the emails as they post, or get a digest once a day, or only view it as a web site.  You will need a Google account to join the group.
