Research Scientist
Indiana University Academic Positions 4.6
Principal research scientist job in Bloomington, IN
ResearchScientist for Indiana University Cognitive Development Lab The Cognitive Development Lab at Indiana University-Bloomington (PI: Linda Smith) invites applications for a ResearchScientist to assist in the creation and analysis of a shareable data set (of already collected data) from nearly 10,000 children ages 15 to 36 months. There is both a scientific premise and a methodological premise underlying the project. The scientific premise is that developmental changes in visual cognition and early vocabulary development interact, with advances in visual cognition supporting early language learning and also being changed by language learning. The literature indicates multiple causal factors and inflection points that can disrupt this early stage of vocabulary growth- limitations in audition, or vision, in phonological representations, in visual attention, in the composition of early vocabularies, and in the quality and composition of language input. The methodological premise concerns how to leverage all the data that has been already collected on these issues; experiments with many of the same overlapping measures designed with specific hypotheses in mind. The methodological premise for this project is that given some overlapping measures in the individual data sets and through the use of advanced analytic tools including machine learning and graph theoretics, one can discover multiple developmental pathways in cross-sectional data and the factors that underlie the trajectories of those pathways. These inferred pathways then can be empirically tested in longitudinal studies. Strong applicants will have quantitative and computational training as well as experience in behavioral science, ideally in development, language, or visual cognition. The successful applicant will have: Excellent research track record. Excellent programming skills. Experience in computational and statistical methods and analyses including either graph theoretic of machine learning approaches (or both). A track record of initiative, ability to lead a team (of undergraduates/masters students) and effective teamwork. Fit of this project with their own career trajectory/goals PhD in Psychology or related field How to Apply: Interested candidates should apply at ********************************************** by submitting a cover letter describing your interests and prior experiences, CV, and contact information for three references.
