Graduate Assistantship at Penn State

[Carol Hammer]

Please share the following announcement with any interested students.




Research Assistantship in Bilingualism & Literacy


A research assistantship is available beginning Fall 2008 in the Department 
of Communication Sciences and Disorders at Penn State University for a 
graduate student interested in the emergent literacy development of 
bilingual, Spanish-speaking children. The research assistantship is funded 
through a Head Start-University Partnership Grant entitled, "Promoting the 
Emergent Literacy Development of English Language Learners: A 
Culturally-Informed Approach."

The purpose of the grant is to implement and evaluate a home-based, 
culturally informed emergent literacy intervention that is designed to 
promote Latino parents' abilities to support the language and literacy 
development of their preschoolers who are learning English.

The research assistant will be responsible for assisting with the 
development of program materials, data collection, data entry and data 
analysis.  The assistantship includes full tuition, computer fees, health 
insurance and a monthly stipend.

Students who are interested in applying for the research assistantship 
should submit a resume and a letter of interest that discusses the 
student's research interests, long term career goals, and language 
proficiencies by February 1, 2008.  Individuals who are bilingual 
(Spanish-English) are particularly encouraged to apply. Inquires and 
letters of interest may be sent to:
