[CogSci] Part-Time Research Assistant Position

[Luca Campanelli]

The Psycholinguistics Laboratory at the University of Alabama, directed
by Dr. Luca Campanelli, is seeking applications for two part-time
research assistant positions. The starting date is flexible, although a
sooner start is preferred. The number of hours per week is negotiable
but is expected to be between 10 and 15 hours. The location is
flexible: either Tuscaloosa, Alabama, or fully remote. Compensation
will be determined based on the candidate's experience. 

The ideal candidate is a Master's or PhD student with some background
knowledge and research interests in one or more of the following areas:
- Natural language processing and AI/computational models of language
processing that are grounded in the principles of human language and
cognition;
- Interplay between memory and prediction functions in language
processing; 
- Theoretical and computational models of memory;
- Individual differences in language processing.

Depending on the project, responsibilities may include conducting
literature reviews, analysis of behavioral/eye-tracking/EEG/fMRI data,
developing experimental tasks, programming in R/Python, preparing
findings for publication. Previous experience working on eye-tracking,
EEG, or fMRI data and knowledge in programming and data analysis in R
are a plus. 

Depending on the individual's commitment and objectives, there can be
opportunities for co-authoring posters and peer-reviewed publications.

Dr. Campanelli's laboratory is equipped with an eye-tracker and an
electroencephalogram (EEG) system. The lab's work focuses broadly on
the cognitive underpinnings of speech and language processing.

Interested candidates are encouraged to reach out and send their CV
directly to Dr. Campanelli (lcampanelli at ua.edu). Review of applications
will begin immediately and continue until the positions are filled.
