Description:

The Center for Language Science (CLS) at Penn State seeks candidates for the
position of Lab Manager/Research Assistant. The CLS (http://cls.psu.edu/) is
an interdisciplinary group of linguists, psycholinguists, applied linguists,
speech-language pathologists, speech scientists, and cognitive neuroscientists
who share an interest in language acquisition and bilingualism. CLS
researchers employ a variety of methods including behavioral measures, eye
tracking, electrophysiological studies, and fMRI. Responsibilities for this
position include assisting with a wide variety of CLS research projects,
managing the laboratory operations (including equipment maintenance and
participant scheduling), and providing support for weekly meetings and other
CLS events. Knowledge of E-prime, SPSS, and MATLAB is desirable, as is
experience with eye tracking and event related potential methods. Training
will be provided for technical methods, and also for the conduct of research
with human participants. All candidates should have strong interpersonal,
communication, and organizational skills, the ability to manage multiple
simultaneous projects, and a strong curiosity and interest in language science
research and methods.

This position is ideal for someone who has completed undergraduate studies in
a language science related field and wishes to gain additional laboratory
experience before applying for graduate school. The position typically
requires an Associate's degree or higher plus one year of related experience,
or an equivalent combination of education and experience. A Bachelor’s degree
is preferred. The successful candidate will have had laboratory experience as
an undergraduate, preferably with both behavioral and cognitive neuroscience
methods.

Interested applicants should include in their submitted materials a listing of
three names of references. Questions about the position can also be sent to

appointment date will be no later than September 1, 2016. This is a fixed-term
