This semester (Spring 2025) we are mostly looking for help with putting on the language conference, which is a great professional development opportunity for motivated students.

There may be openings after this semester for undergraduate research assistants to help with a variety of research projects exploring the contexts and mechanisms of language development and everyday linguistic understanding.

Research assistants typically join a single project team, with responsibilities that may include:

• recruiting and scheduling participants
• designing and constructing study stimuli
• collecting experimental data with infants, children, and adults
• annotating naturalistic videos of caregiver-child interaction
• transcribing spontaneous child conversation
• qualitatively categorizing verbal participant responses
• participating in academic presentations or writing
