The Language Development and Parenting Lab is
directed by Dr. Meredith Rowe, within the department of Human
Development and Quantitative Methodology (HDQM) in the College of
Education. We study language acquisition in infants and young children.
Specifically, we’re interested in how children learn language through
social interactions with their parents, and how different cultural and
linguistic backgrounds influence early language development.
Our
lab is searching for an undergraduate research assistant (RA) for the
Fall Semester, 2012. Preference will be given to applicants who are able
to work for two semesters. The position entails 8 hours of work per
week, including a one-hour weekly team lab meeting. Duties are largely
based around coding DVDs of parent-child interactions, and other
responsibilities may include transcription, data entry, scheduling
participants for our studies, and working with study participants. RAs
are compensated with class credit for one course per semester.
If interested, please send a resume and an unofficial copy of your transcript to ldpl@umd.edu by September 4.
