Reporting to Dr. John Krzeczkowski, the Research Coordinator will oversee research conducted within the Strong Starts Research Laboratory (www.strongstartsresearch.com) at Brock University. Our laboratory aims to understand the foundations of socioemotional development in infants and young children. The Research Coordinator will be responsible for the coordination of a large CHIR funded pregnancy cohort study that aims to understand how markers of diet and exercise during pregnancy impact multiple measures of brain and behavioural health in children. The position will also involve coordinating smaller scale studies that investigate behavioural and physiological components of parent-infant interactions. This is primarily an in-person position.
