Research Assistant Positions

The Computational Cognition and Learning Lab is looking for motivated undergraduates interested in assisting graduate students in experimental psychology research for Summer and Fall 2011. Our lab studies human development and learning through both empirical studies and computational models. We are particularly interested in how language is grounded in sensorimotor experience and how language development depends on complex interactions among brain, body and environment. To learn more, please visit the lab website at http://www.indiana.edu/~dll/index.html If you are interested in learning how to conduct research, and have at least10 hours available a week, we're looking for you. In addition to valuable research experience you will receive lab class credit. More importantly, if you're considering graduate school, this is a great opportunity to see what working in a lab is really like. You will attend weekly lab meetings, run subjects in experiments, score and analyze data, and help design new experiments. No prior lab experience is necessary, but relevant skills such as experience working with children or some computer science background may be considered. For more information, please contact Amanda Favata at afavata@indiana.edu Please include the following information: Your Name Year in School (freshman, sophomore, etc) Number of hours available to work and tentative time blocks available Major (declared or undeclared) GPA Psychology/Cognitive Science/ Computer Science classes (taken or will be taking) Have you worked in any other labs? Why are you interested in working in this lab? Experience working with children? *Also, please attach a resume and a transcript. We will begin reviewing applications on April 26, 2011. Any applications received after that may not receive full consideration.
