教育背景

研究领域 Laboratory for Language Pathology and Developmental Neurosciences   This laboratory is located in School of Foreign Languages of Hunan University. The theme of this laboratory is to improve life quality and happiness of people with developmental disabilities, including but not limited to people with Williams syndrome, people with Down syndrome, people with autism spectrum disorders, people with specific language impairments, and people with learning difficulties. This laboratory devotes to conducting research on people with special needs to build up trajectories of atypical developments compared to typical developers and to developing intervention methods by using technologies. It is believed that brain plasticity makes intervention possible and potential in people with developmental disorders. This laboratory is now recruiting post-doctoral research fellows and research assistants. If you are interested in conducting studies on developmental disorders, language pathology, cognitive psychology, cognitive neuroscience, and developmental psychology, you are more than welcome to apply for these positions. Please send email to PI (chinghsu@hnu.edu.cn).  There are several research projects ongoing in the laboratory that you can join. If you are interested in this research field, please do not hesitate to apply for our PhD program. (posted date 20231125)
