[CogSci] Two laboratory coordinator positions — Visual Learning Lab at UC San Diego

[Bria Long]

Dear Colleagues,

The Visual Learning Lab in the Department of Psychology at UC San Diego is
hiring two full-time Laboratory Coordinators to start in Summer 2026. The
lab is broadly interested in the development of perception and cognition,
with a focus on understanding how learning occurs in naturalistic contexts.
See here <https://www.vislearnlab.org/> for more information about our
approach, philosophy, and recent publications.  Please circulate this ad
(see below) to anyone you think might be a good fit! Application deadlines
for full consideration are February 10th. All the best, (with apologies for
cross-posting!) Bria Long *About the positions:*

Position 1: Developmental Focus. Core responsibilities include hands-on
data collection with infants, young children, and their families. This
position involves taking significant ownership of planning and executing
testing sessions in our lab and at children's museums for two different
large-scale projects, as well as managing IRB protocols and participant
records. This laboratory coordinator will work most closely with AJ
Haskins, a postdoctoral researcher in the lab.  Apply here

Position 2: Computational Focus. Core responsibilities include managing the
computational and technical infrastructure for the lab. This position
involves coordinating pre-processing for eye-tracking studies, managing
large-scale behavioral and video data analysis, and maintaining lab
equipment (including the eye-trackers and remote iPad kiosks). Additional
responsibilities include coordinating participant recruitment and social
media outreach, updating software infrastructure, and training
undergraduate researchers. Apply here

Both positions provide opportunities to build skills in experimental
design, data analysis, computational methods, and scientific communication,
including co-authorship on publications and presentations. Both
coordinators will be integral members of our lab community and participate
in weekly lab meetings and UCSD's broader intellectual environment.

Key qualifications for both positions:

   -

   Experience working with infants, children, or families (strongly
   preferred)
   -

   Familiarity with basic computer programming and ability to quickly learn
   new technical skills
   -

   Excellent organizational, interpersonal, and communication skills
   -

   Reliable transportation for travel to local testing sites
   -

   Flexibility for occasional weekend data collection

Please consult the full job postings for a complete list of desired
qualifications. You may apply to both positions, but must submit separate
applications to be considered for each. Application deadlines for full
consideration: February 10th. Contact Dr. Bria Long at brlong at ucsd.edu with
any questions!
