Description
Position Summary:
This postdoctoral position supports the design and execution of research investigating language indicators of psychosis across phylogenetically diverse languages. This work is part of the Accelerating Medicines Partnership® in Schizophrenia (AMP® SCZ)-the largest schizophrenia research initiative funded by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), the Foundation for the National Institutes of Health (fNIH), and numerous industry partners.
The AMP SCZ project involves collaboration across 42 international sites and includes a clinical trial conducted at 15 U.S. locations. At the Emory University site-Language Biomarker Lab-research focuses on aligning spoken language with facial expressions and vocal characteristics to enable multimodal analysis. This alignment supports the integration of clinical interview data (including open-ended interviews and audio diaries) with other biomarkers such as MRI, EEG, and genetic data, with the aim of enhancing early detection of psychosis and evaluating the efficacy of two candidate medications.
The postdoctoral researcher will develop and maintain computational pipelines for detecting atypical patterns of communication in clinical populations, with a particular focus on individuals at clinical high risk for psychosis. Features of interest span multiple levels of analysis, including acoustic characteristics, semantic structure, discourse organization, topic maintenance, and facial movement dynamics. The lab has access to a dedicated GPU cluster, including A100, H100, and H200 GPUs, to support large-scale model development, training, and fine-tuning of large language models. The postdoctoral researcher will work closely with the Principal Investigator to analyze data, prepare scientific manuscripts, and publish findings. Depending on project needs, the postdoc may also help manage specialized equipment and maintain the lab's audio/video data-processing pipelines.
