DescriptionThe Speech and Language Perception Lab in the Psychology Department seeks a Research Assistant.
Our work broadly addresses the social, linguistic, and cognitive factors that affect humans' ability to perceive and understand spoken language. The influences on speech perception are manifold, and can be seen at levels as local as the specific sounds in a word or as global as an individual's lifetime experience with speech. Our goal is to identify how our mind/brain processes spoken language using primarily behavioral and acoustic methods, but also neuroimaging techniques to explore the mechanisms underlying our ability to understand and use spoken language.
The primary responsibilities of the Research Assistant (RA) position in the laboratory will be recruiting and testing human participants for speech and language tasks, preparing auditory stimuli, assisting with data preparation and analysis, contributing to literature reviews and research design, and attending regular one-on-one and group lab meetings.
Potential candidates should be self-motivated. Experience with R and/or other statistical and programming packages is preferred, but not required. Applicants should provide a brief, clear description of their relevant experience, a copy of their CV or resume, and 2 references.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:
Under general supervision, performs a variety of defined research and laboratory tests and experiments according to prescribed protocols and assigned schedules.
Sets up experiments as prescribed by a principal investigator.
May be required to participate in laboratory maintenance activities such as sterilization and cleaning of equipment, ordering of supplies, inventory and media preparation.
Maintains records, files and logs of work performed in laboratory notebooks and computer databases.
Compiles data and records results of studies for publications, grants and seminar presentations.
Employees in this classification may be required to work with, take specific precautions against and/or be immunized against potentially hazardous agents.
Performs related responsibilities as required by principal investigator.
MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS:
Bachelor's degree in a scientific field OR equivalent combination of experience, education, and training.
NOTE: Position tasks are generally required to be performed in-person at an Emory University location. Remote work from home day options may be granted at department discretion. Emory reserves the right to change remote work status with notice to employee.
