The Landi Lab seeks to better understand typical and atypical reading and language development through the use of multiple cognitive neuroscience methodologies (MRI, EEG/ERP) and genetic analyses. Through this work we hope to identify causal mechanisms that contribute to the complex etiology of disorders such as dyslexia, specific comprehension impairment and specific language impairment. Please explore our website to learn more about our research and researchers.
Description
Qualified individuals are invited to apply for a full-time Project Manager (Research Associate [RA]) position at Haskins Laboratories (https://haskinslabs.org). The successful candidate will join the lab of Professor Nicole Landi, which investigates the cognitive and neurobiological bases of reading development and reading disability using behavioral and neuroimaging techniques (fMRI and EEG).
This RA will facilitate a project that involves longitudinal tracking of children with reading disability and identification of predictors (behavioral and neurobiological) of reading intervention outcomes. This project is a collaboration with Professors Ken Pugh and Fumiko Hoeft.
Required qualifications
- BA or BS in Psychology, Cognitive Science, Neuroscience or related field
Additional relevant skills include:
- Experience with human research, particularly with children
- Experience with behavioral/standardized assessments
- Experience with data management software (e.g., FileMakerPro, REDCap, Qualtrics)
- Experience with neuroimaging techniques (EEG, fMRI, or fNIRS)
- Experience with experimental presentation software packages (e.g., E-PRIME, Presentation, PsychoPy)
- Experience with statistical analysis (e.g., SPSS, R, Matlab)
Compensation is commensurate with skills and experience.
Application Instructions
Interested applicants should contact Nicole Landi [email protected] with a cover letter, resume, copy of (unofficial) transcripts if available, and the names of three potential references. Please make “Landi Lab RA” the subject line of your email.
Position start date
The position will remain open until filled, with an anticipated start date of June 1, 2021 (May 15th is also possible).

Haskins Laboratories
Haskins Laboratories is a private, not-for-profit research institute founded in 1935, with a scientific mission to investigate the biological basis of speech, language and reading, and their related disabilities. Together with long-standing collaborators from University of Connecticut, Yale University, and over 40 international partners, Haskins has pioneered the scientific theories that guide current clinical and educational remediations for speech and reading disabilities, including the motor theory of speech perception, the orthographic depth hypothesis, the phonological basis of dyslexia, and the neurobiological system that supports reading. The over-arching mission of the Laboratories is to leverage cutting-edge science to enable those with language impairments to participate more fully in society.
