The Ohio State University

Spend the Summer with Us!

The Language Sciences Research Lab is running a 8-week PAID summer research program for undergraduate students interested in LANGUAGE. This program is a hands-on program that requires 35 in-person hours each week. During this program you will: 

• Conduct research with mentorship from OSU faculty members.

• Learn how to communicate about research and language science with professionals and the public.

This program does not take place on the Ohio State University Campus. Most of your time will be spent at COSI, a public science museum in Columbus, Ohio, or at the STEAM Factory (400 W. Rich St., Columbus, OH), an OSU-sponsored co-working space near COSI.

The 2025 program will run for 8 weeks between May 19 to July 11. Students with summer plans involving significant other commitments during the run of the program will not be a good fit for the program. The time commitment is 35 in-person hours per week throughout. You will be expected to put in some of that time at the science museum on the weekends.
