The
Family Involvement Laboratory is looking for a bilingual (Spanish/English) research assistant.
Dr.
Cabrera’s Family Involvement Lab in the department of Human Development and
Quantitative Methodology is currently conducting a large and exciting
intervention study regarding reading in families with very young children (9 to
30 months of age). We will be recruiting families of first-time mothers and
fathers who speak English or Spanish. We are interested in learning about how
reading in families affects parents as well as children’s growth, health, and
development. (See our website at www.babybooks2.com)
We
are looking for a bilingual (Spanish/English) research assistant 40 hours/week
