As an (undergraduate) research assistant, working in the lab can give you opportunities to: 

  • Have professional interactions with children and their families
  • Learn about research ethics and practices in experimental work
  • Get experience with administrative tasks related to a research lab (such as scheduling, recruiting, and communicating with research participants)
  • Work together with other undergraduate research assistants, graduate students and faculty
  • Assist with data presentations for conferences; present to your peers and faculty during the Undergraduate Research events
  • And most importantly, you will have the opportunity to learn specific research skills such as data entry; eye tracking coding; data analyses; experiment development; test protocols; and creative problem solving!

All students in Speech-Language-Hearing Sciences or Linguistics, as well as related majors, are welcome to apply; preference goes to students who have taken at least one phonetics / phonology or language acquisition course; All students, but especially undergraduates, are expected to remain part of the lab for at least two semesters (for a minimum commitment of ~ 3 hours of lab-related work and meetings a week for undergraduate RAs).
