[CogSci] Research scientist for the LEVANTE project

[Michael C. Frank]

(with apologies for cross-posting)

Are you a researcher with an interest in building great tools for
behavioral measurement? We are seeking a Research Scientist to act as the
tasks lead and engineering manager for a large-scale project on
developmental data collection with children ages 2-12 called
LEVANTE. LEVANTE stands for the Learning Variability Network Exchange, and
is a global research network to improve our understanding of variability in
learning and development through coordinated data collection. Learn more at
http://levante-network.org.

This position is a PhD-level position, with the expectation that the RS
will contribute to – and have the opportunity to lead on – research
products including papers and presentations. The RS will also be part of
the Language and Cognition Lab at Stanford, a broad interdisciplinary group
interested in using data to understand human development.

Ideal qualifications/experiences for the position include:
- creating behavioral experiments (ideally for children), with attention to
the small details of the participants' experience in the experiment
- psychological measurement and/or psychometrics (including item response
theory and/or adaptive testing)
- software development using version control and project management software
- web-development, including javascript/HTML/CSS, cloud-based hosting, and
modern frameworks (e.g., react.js)
- experience working with teams and an orientation towards managing a small
team of engineers working on the project (e.g. scrum)

Applicants should submit a current CV, a short (~1 page) coverletter
stating their qualifications for the position, and a link to a github
account or other code portfolio.

For questions or to submit an application, please contact Amy Lightbody (
aal at stanford.edu)

best,

Mike
