Research Assistance: Collaborators often assist in conducting research experiments and studies related to phonetics and linguistics. This may involve tasks such as collecting and analyzing data, preparing stimuli, administering experiments, and organizing research materials.

Data Collection: Collaborators may be responsible for collecting speech data from human participants, either through recordings or direct observation. They may need to follow specific protocols to ensure consistent data collection and maintain ethical guidelines.

Data Analysis: Collaborators often participate in data analysis tasks, including transcribing and annotating speech recordings, coding linguistic features, and applying statistical techniques to analyze phonetic patterns and variations.

Literature Review: Collaborators may conduct literature reviews to gather relevant information and contribute to the theoretical and empirical background of research projects. This involves reading and summarizing existing studies, identifying knowledge gaps, and presenting findings to the research team.

Experiment Design: Collaborators may assist in designing experiments or studies by developing research protocols, designing stimuli, and implementing experimental procedures. They may also help in piloting experiments to ensure their effectiveness and make necessary adjustments.

Technology and Equipment Management: Phonetic research often involves specialized software, audio equipment, and analysis tools. Collaborators may be responsible for managing and maintaining this technology, including setting up recording equipment, troubleshooting technical issues, and ensuring data security.

Collaboration and Communication: Collaborators work closely with other members of the research team, including faculty, researchers, and fellow collaborators. They participate in regular meetings, discussions, and presentations to share progress, exchange ideas, and contribute to the overall research direction.

Presentation and Publication: Collaborators may be involved in presenting research findings at conferences, workshops, or seminars. They may also contribute to writing research papers, reports, or academic articles for publication in relevant journals.

Training and Mentorship: Experienced collaborators may have the opportunity to train and mentor new members of the Phonetic Lab. They may assist in providing guidance, sharing knowledge and skills, and supporting the learning and development of junior collaborators.
