Job opportunity
Postdoctoral Researcher Neurotype Measurement
McGill University
Investigate neurotype measurement at McGill University’s Montreal Neuro site through psychometrics, reliability analysis, and large-scale cognitive data.
This full-time Postdoctoral Fellow works with Professor Blake Richards on a Schmidt Sciences Polymath Award-supported research initiative. The Citadel of the Mind seeks continuous, high-dimensional models of human neurotypes, using game-based testing and conversational artificial intelligence. You will establish interpretable cognitive measures and evaluate their performance across contexts.
Key Responsibilities:
Define intended constructs and limits for established assessments
Execute pilots gathering baseline multimodal participant data
Test measurement quality, reliability, and validity reproducibly
Study cultural, device, and gameplay influences on measures
Define model targets with machine learning collaborators
Requirements:
PhD in cognitive neuroscience, psychology, or closely related discipline
Psychometrics and experimental design expertise
Knowledge of statistical analysis and reproducible research
Experience coding in Python
Preferred expertise in item response theory or adaptive testing
Use psychometrics, experimental design, and statistical analysis to advance interpretable cognitive measurement through McGill’s Citadel of the Mind.
