For a couple of years now, I really enjoy working as a research coordinator of the Language Development department at the Max Planck Institute. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this job I am involved in setting up and conducting new studies on language development. I am responsible for managing our research assistants, as well as interns. They assist all researchers in scheduling appointments with parents, and running experiments with infants and children. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, I support the BRC lab managers in performing their variety of tasks. Language (and the young child) in development fascinates me a lot, which makes the BRC a wonderful and inspiring place for me to work!<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":1121,"template":"","team_groepen":[22],"class_list":["post-1444","medewerkers","type-medewerkers","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","team_groepen-language-development"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nNienke Rulkens-Dijkstra - Baby & Child Research Center<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/babyandchild.nl\/en\/medewerkers\/nienke-rulkens-dijkstra\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_GB\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Nienke Rulkens-Dijkstra - Baby & Child Research Center\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Al een aantal jaar werk ik met heel veel plezier als onderzoeksco\u00f6rdinator op de afdeling Language Development van het Max Planck Instituut.
