*TWO POSITIONS AVAILABLE FOR JUNE 1 START DATE*

*UNIVERSITY OF DELAWARE*

*INFANT LANGUAGE PROJECT*


 *POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP*


Applications are being accepted for a postdoctoral fellowship on an
IES-funded project to develop a computerized assessment of preschoolers’
language development. This important project is designed to identify
children with language issues and plot the course of normal language
acquisition in middle- and low-SES children.


We seek an individual with strong research training and superb writing
skills, statistical expertise, and a Ph.D. in developmental psychology or a
closely related area. Ideally, the applicant would be an expert in language
acquisition or assessment and have an interest in young children’s
thinking. Exceptional new PhD’s in allied areas will be considered.
Responsibilities include communication and coordination with our research
collaborators at other institutions, writing up results for presentation
and publication in the last year of the project.


Energetic individuals with outstanding social skills who have the ability
to coordinate and direct a research team are preferred. Funding is
available for one year with full benefits (including dental and vision).
There is a possibility of funding for a second year. Preferred start date
is June 1, 2014.

*Materials:* *Please submit a CV, cover letter with statement of research
interests, three letters of recommendation, and evidence of scholarly
publications to Katherine Ridge, Laboratory Manager for Roberta M.
Golinkoff at **kridge at udel.edu* <kridge at udel.edu>*.*



*FULL-TIME LABORATORY MANAGER*


The Infant Language Project at the University of Delaware needs a highly
capable, eager, and well-spoken individual to serve as a full-time
laboratory manager. A recent college graduate having majored in psychology
or a related field and looking for additional research experience before
going on to graduate school would be ideal; former laboratory coordinators
have gone on to the graduate schools of their choice.


The laboratory is extremely active and highly collaborative with a focus on
language acquisition, learning through play, and spatial skills.  Strong
writing skills are essential as the lab manager collaborates on
publications, writes grant reports, and presents at conferences. Attention
to detail, the ability to multi-task, and organizational skills are a must
as the lab manager is the link to the University IRB office, manages
participant recruitment, and is in charge of purchasing equipment and
supplies.


The lab manager must also have excellent social skills.  In addition to
training and supervising undergraduate research assistants, the lab manager
cultivates a team orientation, and fosters a high degree of professionalism
among laboratory members. The applicant must be excellent with young
children and their parents as well as with the staff they interface with at
the University and in the field. Previous research experience in a
psychology or related laboratory is required and an interest and background
in language development is desirable.


This is likely a two-year position that offers full, excellent benefits
(including dental and vision) and a dynamic working environment. Preferred
start date is June 1, 2014.

*Materials: Please submit a CV, cover letter, and have three letters of
recommendation sent to the current Laboratory Manager, Katherine Ridge,
at kridge at udel.edu <kridge at udel.edu>.*
