Description:

We are looking for a curious, dynamic and organized person to work as
full-time Laboratory Coordinator for the Language Acquisition Laboratory at
UCLA Department of Linguistics.

Responsibilities include organizing and managing subject recruitment,
interacting with parents and children, aiding in experimental design,
testing infants, maintaining data spreadsheets and facilitating
undergraduate and graduate research projects.

This is a full-time administrative position with benefits; a commitment for
at least two years is required. The position starts July 1, 2011 and offers
flexible hours. Salary begins at $38,880 per year, and is commensurate with
experience. UCLA is an equal opportunity employer.

The person must have experience working with children between 0-6 years and
their parents. A degree (B.A. or M.A.) in Linguistics/Psychology or related
field, and research experience with infants and language acquisition is
highly desirable. Proficiency in Spanish would also be great. This position
is ideal for gaining experience before entering graduate school; both
previous coordinators have gone to excellent doctoral programs. Details of
previous research projects are available on the web pages of Nina Hyams,
Susie Curtiss, Carson Schütze and Megha Sundara
(http://www.linguistics.ucla.edu/people/196-faculty.html).

If you are interested, please email a CV and names of three referees to
Megha Sundara.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as 
such can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered 
501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These 
donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your state tax return 
(U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact 
your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match 
any gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your 
contacting your human resources department and sending us a form that the 
EMU Foundation fills in and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple 
administrative procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without 
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if your company 
operates such a program.
