The Language Acquisition & Brain Lab (QLAB) at Northeastern University, directed by Dr. Zhenghan Qi, seeks a highly capable and motivated individual to serve as a full time Research Associate. This position is appointed for a two-year term, with reappointment possible based on performance and funding. The QLAB uses a variety of behavioral (web-based experiments and eye-tracking) and neuroimaging techniques (EEG and fMRI). We investigate how the neural organization for language processing changes from childhood through adulthood and how differently language networks function in neurodevelopmental disorders, such as autism spectrum disorder, dyslexia, language impairment, and schizophrenia.

This position is ideally suited for individuals who are interested in pursuing a doctorate degree in the fields of medicine, communication sciences and disorders, cognitive neuroscience, psychology, and education.
