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.
