Open Positions
The Gaab Lab works at the intersection of neuroscience, education, EdTech, and policy. We focus on typical/atypical learning trajectories with a special focus on language and reading development and the role of the environment in shaping these trajectories.
Undergraduate Semester Intern
As an intern, you will gain experience in data entry and analysis, participant recruitment, and data collection. Data collection can include observing or helping with behavioral testing. We are looking for someone who can dedicate at least 8 hours a week to the lab. Availability to work over the weekend occasionally is a plus. The ideal candidate will be detail-oriented, careful, self-motivated, and interested in our lab's work, and have a background in neuroscience, psychology, linguistics, education, computer science, or a related field. Currently, this is an unpaid position, but the student may be eligible to earn course credits.
Other helpful points, you would learn more about:
• MRI/fMRI data analysis and behavioral testing of young children and infants
• Subject recruitment for research studies, which may include close interaction with schools and daycare centers in the Boston area
• Scheduling of research participants and their parents
• Use of analysis software
Thank you for your interest in the Gaab Lab!
