[CogSci] Research Coordinator: Purdue Language Learning and Meaning Acquisition (LLAMA) Lab

[Arielle Borovsky]

Dear colleagues,


The Purdue Language Learning and Meaning Acquisition (LLAMA) Laboratory is
hiring a research project coordinator / technician for a NIH-funded project
titled “Lexico-semantic abilities in language growth and delay.”  Start
date can range from May to July.  This position could be a great fit either
for someone with scientific interests in language development who seeks to
enhance their research profile before attending graduate school, *or* for
an individual with more research experience who is seeking a longer-term
research-oriented post.  Compensation will be scaled to the candidate's
skills and experience.  The candidate will contribute to the initial phase
of a longitudinal project, therefore, individuals who can make a
multiple-year commitment to the position will receive stronger
consideration.

Dr. Arielle Borovsky and the LLAMA lab are committed to enhancing,
diversity, equity, and inclusion in the scientific community.  We encourage
individuals from backgrounds that are traditionally under-represented in
science to apply for this position.  Our commitment to equity is similarly
woven into the scientific aims of this project, which seeks to engage
families with diverse backgrounds. Applicants are encouraged to share their
own commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion in their cover letter,
along with a brief description of their goals, talents, and qualifications.


Job details and application instructions included below the signature
line.  Review of applications will begin on 3/29/21 and continue on a
rolling basis until the position is filled.    Please direct specific
inquiries to Dr. Borovsky at aborovsky at purdue.edu


Best,
Arielle Borovsky
