RESEARCH ASSISTANT POSITION AVAILABLE IN THE BRAIN AND LANGUAGE LAB

THE BRAIN AND LANGUAGE LAB
The Brain and Language Lab at Georgetown 
University investigates the biological and 
psychological bases of first and second language, 
and the relations between language and other 
cognitive domains, including memory, music and 
motor function. The lab's members test their 
hypotheses using a set of complementary 
behavioral, neurological, neuroimaging (ERP, MEG, 
fMRI) and other biological (genetic, endocrine, 
pharmacological) approaches. They are interested 
in the normal acquisition and processing of 
language and non-language functions, and their 
neurocognitive variability as a function of 
factors such as genetics, hormones, sex, 
handedness, age and learning environment; and in 
the breakdown, recovery and rehabilitation of 
language and non-language functions in a variety 
of disorders, including Specific Language 
Impairment, ADHD, dyslexia, autism, Tourette 
syndrome, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's 
disease, Huntington's disease, and aphasia. For a
