<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__bergelsonlab.com_index.html&d=DwMFaQ&c=imBPVzF25OnBgGmVOlcsiEgHoG1i6YHLR0Sj_gZ4adc&r=oEsSSFAFePe1V8kK5c3G12c8TQd2E0XLpD8v4mj42XQ&m=_jzR8TsbfGcxEDALa5mlsvVkEFIZnng2Dn_NxrfPepQ&s=NU8_MzCys_SPE8lN-imbo4d967y2bNW9KKphafM47ic&e=>,
a federally funded lab in Duke's Psychology & Neuroscience department, is
looking to hire an excited, competent, and detail-oriented recent graduate
to be an active member of our research team. The lab's focus is on language
development, and in particular, on how word learning interfaces with other
levels of linguistic representation, and other dimensions of cognitive and
social development. We are part of Duke CHILD Studies
<http://psychandneuro.duke.edu/childstudies>.

The lab manager position entails working with families, infants, and
toddlers, and a team of researchers from the undergraduate to postdoctoral
level.

The lab manager's duties will include:
* managing a team of RAs conducting annotations of home recordings on
the SEEDLingS
Corpus

* scheduling and running in-lab eyetracking and discrimination experiments
with infants and adults ,
* data processing, coding, and analysis,
* vocabulary assessment and other cognitive development measures,
* miscellaneous aspects of project and lab upkeep.
* writing and maintaining project & lab documentation & calendars

This would be an excellent position for someone looking for research
experience with infants and families, in visual, environmental, social, and
linguistic aspects of cognitive development.

The lab manager's contribution would potentially lead to authorship on
papers published from the results of these data, and hands-on involvement
in the nuts-and-bolts of research in cognitive development.

*Requirements:*
* BA or BS in psychology, cognitive science, linguistics, or a related field
* strong independent work ethic
* previous research experience in a psych, cogsci, linguistics, or related
research lab
* Ability to manage deadlines and thrive in a fast-paced working environment
* Feeling comfortable interacting with infants and families
* Ability to troubleshoot and learn software and scripting methods
on-the-job

*Other desiderata:*
* experience with audio, video, and image file manipulation
* basic programming skills (e.g. Python and R),
* experience interacting with infants and families
* eyetracking experience (desired but not required)

The position begins *Early Summer 2019. *This is a one year position, with
the possibility of extension.

Applicants should send a *CV* (which includes GPA,  relevant course and
research experience, and references) and a *cover letter *to
