including undergraduates planning to graduate in December. Thanks!

Research Assistant / Lab Manager / Technician
Language Development & Speech Perception

$11-$13/hr for 25-40 hours per week
Bachelor’s Degree Required

The Brent lab at Washington University seeks a part- or full- time
research assistant. The project involves recording spontaneous spoken
interactions between parents and young children, transcribing the
recordings, annotating the transcripts, and measuring children’s
vocabulary growth. In addition, the responsibilities of the position may
eventually involve preparing stimuli for and running speech perception
experiments using adult subjects.

The successful candidate should hold a bachelor’s degree and have
coursework in psychology, linguistics, speech pathology, audiology,
signal processing, or related disciplines. The position involves
spending a substantial amount of time working with both computers and
audiovisual equipment, so applicants should enjoy learning new technical
skills. Responsibilities may include recruiting and interacting with
subjects, so applicants should be outgoing and personable. Finally,
responsibilities will include a limited amount of lab management, such
as ordering supplies and possibly supervising other part-time research
assistants.

wanting the position, and contact information for two references to:
