About the Role

We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated Senior Research Associate to join our research project on infant language development at Lancaster University.

The project, titled "The Origins of Infant Word Learning", is funded by the Leverhulme Trust and aims to investigate how hearing words influences how 6- to 18-month-old infants see objects, how the ways that adults talk about objects lead to these effects, and how this process ultimately leads to word learning.

Your Responsibilities
  • Conducting infant behavioral research and contributing to the design and implementation of the project
  • Designing and conducting theoretically-driven developmental research, including data analysis and scientific writing
  • Collaborating with the research team to achieve project goals and objectives
  • Contributing to the development of research proposals and grant applications
About You

We are looking for a candidate with a strong background in infant and/or language and cognitive development, with experience in conducting infant behavioral research and designing and conducting theoretically-driven developmental research.

The ideal candidate will have excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to work effectively in a team and contribute to the development of research proposals and grant applications.

What We Offer
  • A generous holiday leave package, including 25 days annual leave plus University closure days and bank holidays
  • Access to an employee pension scheme and annual flexible benefits scheme
  • A commitment to promoting Equality, Diversity and Inclusion across the Faculty, and supporting family-friendly and flexible working policies on an individual basis

Lancaster University is a leading research-intensive university, with a strong reputation for excellence in research and teaching. We offer a dynamic and supportive work environment, with opportunities for professional development and growth.
