The Language and Cognitive Development Lab <http://lcdlab.berkeley.edu/> at
the UC Berkeley Department of Psychology, directed by Prof. Mahesh
Srinivasan, is seeking a full-time lab manager for a 1-2 year appointment
beginning this July. Research in the lab addresses how linguistic, social,
and cognitive abilities arise and interact with one another in
human development and across cultures.



Responsibilities for the position will include many research-related
activities, such as recruiting and scheduling participants, designing and
creating experimental stimuli, testing infants, toddlers, and adults, and
assisting with data analysis and the preparation of research for
publication. The position will also include administrative duties, such as
recruiting and training undergraduate assistants, coordinating with local
daycare centers and museums, maintaining participant records, purchasing
equipment, and preparing applications for human subjects approval. There
are also likely to be opportunities for contributing to international field
work. The position is ideal for a recent college graduate who would like to
gain additional research experience before applying to graduate school.



Candidates should have a strong interest
in language and cognitive development, and a bachelor's degree in a
relevant discipline, including at least two years of coursework in
experimental psychology, cognitive science, linguistics, or other relevant
fields. Candidates should also have had experience working with human
subjects, especially children, in an academic research environment. A
general fluency with computer software, and strong organizational,
interpersonal, and communication skills (both oral and written) are also
required.  The strongest candidates will also have experience with
statistical software (e.g., R, Python), computer programming (e.g., Matlab)
and web design (Javascript/HTML).



The minimum commitment is 1-2 years, and salary and benefits are
commensurate with experience, according to the UCB Lab Assistant II pay
scale. The position is scheduled to start in May or June of 2022.
