CREATE Internship Opportunities for Undergraduate and Graduate Students
The CREATE Lab is hosting interns interested in either a research or technical development track to contribute to a variety of projects and research products focused on digital learning experiences. This opportunity is open to current undergraduate and graduate NYU students to apply to each semester, with a commitment of between 5 and 10 working hours per week at our 370 Jay Street location in Brooklyn Campus. Intern tasks may include:
OPTION 1: RESEARCH TRACK
- Learning about the research process: attending project meetings, reading relevant materials, introductions to IRB, grants, and academic publications
- Assisting with research preparation: competitive market analyses, literature reviews
- Supporting data collection: recruitment efforts, preparation of materials and equipment including playtesting and troubleshooting, introductions to tools (e.g., Qualtrics, SPSS), CITI certification, and logistics during school visits
OPTION 2: TECHNICAL DEVELOPMENT TRACK
- Coding in Unity, UE4, WebXR, C++, or HTML5/JavaScript frameworks
- Practicing the AGILE product development process: working directly with programmers, designers and researchers to improve product features, updated builds and new prototypes
- Creating product deliverables: digital art assets, wireframes, level and game environment designs (e.g. VR science simulations, cognitive training games)
Benefits and Accreditations
While internships are unpaid, credit is available if requested, either through cooperation with faculty in other departments, or as Independent Study with Dr. Jan L. Plass (45 hours = 1 unit). Interns who successfully completed their internship may also have the opportunity to other paid hourly student positions at the lab.
In addition to providing hands-on experience, CREATE will also provide interns:
- help in translating skills from the internship to future employers on resumes
- opportunities to learn from and network with leaders in the field at events and talks
- feedback on portfolios to share research and development project experience
