Description:

The UCLA Department of Linguistics is recruiting a curious, dynamic, and
organized candidate to work as the full-time Lab Coordinator for the language
acquisition research lab.   

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 100% career administrative position with benefits; a commitment for
two years is required. The position starts July 1, 2022 and offers flexible
hours. There is a possibility to start half-time (50%) as early as April 1,
2022. Hourly rate begins at $26.30 and is commensurate with experience. UCLA
is an equal opportunity employer.

The candidate must have experience working in a research lab with children
between 0 – 6 years and their parents. A degree (B.A. or M.A.) in Linguistics
/ Psychology or related field, research experience with infants and language
acquisition, and proficiency in Spanish is highly desirable. Experience with
the SR Eyelink eyetracker would be a plus. The position will require testing
on at least two Saturdays per month. This position is ideal for gaining
experience before entering graduate school; previous coordinators have gone to
excellent doctoral programs. Details of previous research projects are
available on the UCLA Language Acquisition Lab Webpage
(https://languagelab.humanities.ucla.edu) as well as faculty pages of Laurel
