Research Assistant post in Language Development

[Alcock, Katherine]

Research Assistant post available at Lancaster University, starting in May or June.  Please bring this to the attention of any possible candidates you may know.

You will work on a 12 month ESRC funded project into individual differences in language development. 

The study involves recruitment and testing of children aged 18-21 months. A variety of tests of language development and other abilities will be used, including laboratory based tests, parent checklists, and recording of children's speech in the home. The post will also involve liasing with parents, coding and analysing data. 

You should have a good first degree in psychology, and an interest in the psychology of language. Experience with young children is also important, and research experience in the field of language development would be an advantage. 

Shortlisting will be carried out in the week ending 16th April, and we expect to hold interviews in the week beginning the 26th April.
