We welcome students to take part in our research at ELfLanD.

Dissertations

If you are interested in working on an Honours or MSc dissertation in our lab, please get in touch with one of us to discuss a topic. Please do this at least half a year ahead so that you can receive training on how to conduct developmental work.

Volunteer work

Please contact us if you are interested in assisting us with work related to our research projects, such as annotating videos, transcribing recordings, and creating experimental stimuli. This can also be done as part of the Volunteer Research Assistant scheme.
