We are seeking to fill two full time positions on an NIH supported study

Development Institute at the University of North Carolina at Chapel 
Hill. The desired educational background is a Bachelor’s, Master’s or 
Doctoral Degree in communication studies, psychology, speech and hearing 
sciences, or related fields (speech-language pathologists are encouraged 
to apply). Applicants should also have experience working with children 
with developmental disabilities. Job responsibilities include 
administering standardized speech and language tests, eliciting language 
samples, scoring data, and optional involvement in manuscript

required. We are looking for individuals who take initiative, pay 
attention to details, and have excellent interpersonal skills. If you
