Description:
Looking for a paid summer internship? Interested in working with an active research team? Want to learn about data science and stories and find out what they have to do with each other?

Vermont EPSCoR's Science of Online Corpora, Knowledge, and Stories (SOCKS) research team is currently recruiting 12 undergraduate students for an exciting ten-week, paid internship opportunity based at the University of Vermont (UVM). Interns will delve into research projects - an opportunity not often available during the academic year. Projects are markedly different from most course-based work in that they are open-ended and part of a much larger research program.

The Following Research Areas are Available:

-Indigenous voices in global environmental governance

-Data ethics, privacy, and narrative bias

-Social and health narratives

-Analysis of local news stories and programs

Students will earn an hourly wages for the equivalent of $4,500 over the 10-week period (up to 400 hours).

Primary Faculty Mentors:

-Richard Watts , Director of the Center for Research on Vermont

-Kemi Fuentes-George , Associate Professor of Political Science, Middlebury College

-Juniper Lovato , Research Assistant Professor, Computer Science, University of Vermont

-Randall Harp , Associate Professor of Philosophy, University of Vermont

Other faculty mentors may be available from the SOCKS faculty on the social and health teams. If you are interested in working with anyone in particular, be sure to list that in your statement of research interest. The range of research areas in which students may participate is quite extensive.

You can find additional information, including our application on our website.
