The Language Development Lab is seeking highly motivated research assistants to help with a study investigating the relationship between parent-infant interactions and infant language development. This study involves longitudinal, qualitative video data of parent-infant interactions. The primary duties of research assistants will be coding and entering data. *No experience with coding, analysis, or software is necessary*

You will learn:

• How to code qualitative data for quantitative analysis
• How to use ELAN and excel software
• How to enter and organize datasets

We prefer at least a 2-semester commitment (spring and summer) but we are open to spring only. Preferably students will commit 7-10 hours per week but hours negotiable. Students will also need to attend weekly meetings (held over Zoom) including group and one-on-one meetings.

*All work will be completed remotely.* 

Preferred qualifications:

Research assistants must be:

• Motivated and eager to learn
• Highly detail-oriented
• Thorough
• Timely
• Critical thinkers

Other preferred skills (though not necessary)
