<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Please see below for an announcement and application link for a full-time lab coordinator in my lab at the University of Missouri, Columbia. This position is an excellent fit
for graduating undergraduates who wish to gain additional research experience before applying for Ph.D. programs in psychology, linguistics, or SLHS, and is being vacated due to my current lab coordinator's success in gaining admittance to her graduate program
of choice. Diversity and equity are core values of my lab; therefore, people who identify as women and members of underrepresented groups are strongly encouraged to apply. Please distribute to anyone who might find this position of interest and reach out
to me with any questions.</span></p>

the University of Missouri – Columbia is seeking applicants for a full-time Research/Lab Technician II. The lab conducts research on the cognitive and neural bases of typical and disordered language processing and acquisition, focusing in particular on hand
gesture. A variety of methods, including electroencephalography (EEG), functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS), and eye-tracking are used to examine language and gesture across the lifespan in typical development and autism spectrum disorder (ASD).</span></p>
