Job Description Summary

The Infant Studies Centre at UBC is a dynamic, interdisciplinary research centre in the Department of Psychology.

The focus of the research in the Centre is to understand the biases infants bring to language learning, and how these changes as a function of age and language experience, with the overall goal being to understand the link between perceptual development and mature language use, using both behavioral and neural imaging techniques.

In addition to the primary centre at UBC, there is also a newborn lab at the BC Children and Woman s Hospital.

Errors in conducting research may lead to loss of data or prolongation of the time required to complete studies, with accompanying additional expenses incurred.

Errors in the management of Centre personnel may result in the creation of concerns in the Centre dynamic that have a negative impact on the morale and/or understanding of the researchers and students in the Centre.
