between teachers and students. The specialist will have the opportunity to
work with faculty and doctoral students as they design and conduct research
projects that use both existing recordings and newly collected video data.
Working in the collaboration with faculty, the specialist will play a central
role in designing, constructing, maintaining, and updating a state-of-the-art
system for video analysis.
