Apply psychometrics and cognitive assessment expertise in Montreal to design reliable game-based measures of human neurotypes and cognition.

McGill University seeks a Postdoctoral Fellow working with Professor Blake Richards on The Citadel of the Mind Project. You will adapt established cognitive tasks into engaging video-game mechanics, measuring working memory, response inhibition, cognitive flexibility, and time perception. The research combines cognitive tests with conversational artificial intelligence interactions.

Key Responsibilities:

- Adapt cognitive tasks, constructs, scoring methods, and interpretation limits
- Specify stimuli, timing, and calibration for software implementation
- Design pilots collecting baseline multimodal data from over 1,000 participants
- Evaluate device, gameplay,



and cultural effects on comparability
- Develop reproducible pipelines testing reliability and validity

Requirements:

- PhD in cognitive neuroscience, psychology, or related discipline
- Expertise in psychometrics and experimental design
- Experience evaluating measurement reliability
- Proficiency in statistical analysis and reproducible research
- Python coding experience; latent models preferred

This McGill postdoctoral fellowship combines cognitive assessment, psychometrics, Python, and reproducible research within a large-scale neurotype study.
