This is an NIH-funded position supporting a multi-year longitudinal study examining early developmental pathways to Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) in a large, diverse cohort of children ages 2–4. The project integrates language, cognitive, motor, and
environmental domains with the overarching goal of improving early identification of DLD.</div>

The fellow will lead implementation of language assessment protocols — including language sampling, transcription and coding of parent-child interactions, and administration of standardized and parent-report measures — and will contribute to data analysis,
manuscript preparation, and mentorship of graduate students and research assistants. The position is embedded within a multidisciplinary, collaborative team, and candidates with interest in intersecting domains (cognition, motor development, quantitative methods,
or population science) are strongly encouraged to apply.</div>
