Research Assistant in Developmental/Educational Psychology

Principal Investigator: Ran Wei, Ph.D., Peking University, Graduate School of Education

Profile: https://www.gse.pku.edu.cn/szdw/jxkyry/jyjzx/152820.htm

We are inviting applications for part-time research assistant positions to join projects centered on the influence of family environments on children's language and neurocognitive development. Operating at the nexus of developmental psychology, neuroscience, linguistics, and early childhood education, Dr. Wei's research delves into the impact of the family environment, especially caregivers' communicative input and beliefs, on the linguistic, EF, and neurocognitive development of young children. We also design and assess interventions aimed at equipping parents from varied ethnocultural and socio-economic backgrounds to bolster their children's learning and overall development. Our core data collection methodologies encompass experimental behavioral tasks, eye-tracking, EEG/ERP, LENA, and fine-grained analyses of both verbal and non-verbal communication. We also develop machine-learning-based tools to assess the quality of parent-child interactions. Adopting an interdisciplinary and cross-cultural perspective, we concentrate on the nuances of early language and cognitive evolution across a spectrum of societies, cultures, and languages.

We are in pursuit of self-motivated, dedicated, and detail-oriented candidates with a passion for child development to contribute to our research endeavors at the Peking University Graduate School of Education and to our collaborative initiatives with Harvard Medical School. Successful candidates will acquire expertise in coding and deciphering intricate parent-child interactions and will utilize diverse, rich datasets to unearth factors influencing early childhood development. This role is ideal for those seeking to enrich their research competencies in anticipation of pursuing advanced degrees and aspiring to craft a comprehensive professional growth strategy in concert with the Principal Investigator. This role guarantees funding for a minimum of one year, with potential extensions based on performance reviews.

Duties:

Recruitment and scheduling of participants

Supporting experimental design, data analysis, and ensuring data integrity

Overseeing lab documentation and manual upkeep

Evaluating videotaped interactions between parents and children

Processing data from LENA devices, surveys, neuroimaging tasks, and behavioral evaluations

Participating in the preparation of presentations and publications as warranted

Requirements:

Startdate: Preferred start date is November 2023; however, flexibility exists for earlier or later commencement.

Eligibility: Open to Beijing-based undergraduate and graduate students with a keen interest in understanding the influence of family environments on early development. Enrollment at Peking University is not a prerequisite.

Commitment: Because RAs will receive systematic and rigorous training on data collection and analysis, a commitment of 8-10 hours per week for at least one academic year is expected.

Work Hours: Data analysis can be conducted at your own pace and we offer immense flexibility. However, occasional work during evenings or weekends might be necessary for participant recruitment events and data collection sessions. Communication: Due to collaboration requirements with Harvard Medical School and other foreign institutions, candidates must possess exemplary communication skills and be highly proficient in English.

Education: Background in psychology, neuroscience, computer science, education, linguistics, anthropology, or a related field is advantageous, though not mandatory. With commitment and perseverance, we have faith that anyone can master the required skills.

Meetings: While remote work is feasible, in-person attendance at bi- or tri-weekly project meetings or trainings is obligatory. In-person participation in data collection is obligatory.

Preferred Skills (not obligatory, but will be viewed favorably):

EEG and eye tracking research experience

Proficiency in statistical analysis  

Familiarity with programming languages such as R, Python, or MATLAB.

Experience with machine learning and computer vision

Language proficiency in Bengali and Romanian

Experience caring for or interacting with young children and their parents

Compensation:

Students may choose to receive a daily wage or certificates, subject to Peking University's regulations. Research assistants making substantial intellectual contributions to the project may be eligible for co-authorship on publications and presentations.

Contact:

Please email one PDF including 1) a cover letter, 2) your CV, and 3) an academic writing sample in English (up to 5 pages; strongly recommended but not required) to Dr. Ran Wei at ranwei@pku.edu.cn. Applications will be accepted until the position is filled.
