Infant Cognition Lab
Instructor: Lisa Oakes
Credit Type: Natural Science
Description
Due to COVID-19, we are currently conducting lab activities from home for the safety of our students, staff, and participating families. Research Assistant responsibilities will shift during this period to focus on visual and behavioral coding, managing social media, and assisting graduate students and junior specialists with projects. A two-term commitment and 10-hour workweeks are still required. No prior experience in any of these activities is required, though applicants must be highly motivated to learn new skills. Predetermined lab meetings are held at a minimum, twice a week over Zoom.
