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, 2013.
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 August 30th.
