How to get a cognitive science intern position?

To get a cognitive science intern position, you must be a student currently pursuing a degree in neuroscience, psychology, linguistics, or cognitive science, or have recently graduated with a degree in those fields. Many intern programs look for candidates with a high grade point average and a foundational understanding of cognitive science and the terminology associated with it. Companies want candidates with a passion for learning and interest in the subject. While you should already have some research skills, most internships provide on-the-job training. Additional qualifications include the ability to learn new concepts quickly, attention to detail, and excellent written and verbal communication skills.
