At the Birkbeck BabyLab & ToddlerLab, CBCD, we study how babies and children learn and develop during the first few years of life and throughout childhood. Using a variety of research methods and cutting edge technology, we answer questions such as how do babies and children learn to understand what other people think.
Students can apply to volunteer on short or long-term projects at the Babylab & Toddlerlab to work alongside researchers and PhD students with expertise in infant and child research.
As training volunteers can take a long time and is labour intensive, we ask that Volunteer Researchers commit to a minimum of 8-hours per week for an academic term.
Specific duties may include helping to test infant or child participants, recruitment, coding of data and literature searches.
Some projects may require Volunteer Researchers to have an enhanced DBS check.
Students can also benefit from attending reading groups and seminars on various research topics.
If you would like to apply, please download the application form and email a completed copy, along with your CV and two written references, to t.osborne@bbk.ac.uk.
