Overview

Are you a native speaker of a Bantu language (especially, Kinyarwanda, isiXhosa, or isiZulu)? We’re looking for an undergraduate student to help with a language research project.

Responsibilities:

• Write natural, well-formed sentences in the Bantu language you speak
• Meet regularly with the research team to talk about and improve the sentence materials

Depending on your interest, there may also be chances to:

• Learn more about how sentence structure works in different languages
• See how language experiments are designed and run
• Get experience that could lead to presenting at a conference

No prior research experience is required—just an interest in language and a willingness to collaborate!
