Post-Doctoral Researcher - Illness Narrative, AI, and Epistemic Agency

An opportunity with the Predictive Care Lab, Krembil Centre for Neuroinformatics (KCNI), CAMH

The Predictive Care Lab at CAMH is seeking a full-time Post-Doctoral Fellow to serve as the central researcher on the Canadian side of an international, interdisciplinary research project examining what artificial intelligence does to patient testimony. The project is a tri-national collaboration led by researchers in Canada, the UK and the United States. The fellow will lead the project’s participatory qualitative engagement with people living with Parkinson’s — from narrative interviewing through participant-led annotation to co-design — and will contribute substantively to the conceptual and computational objectives alongside international counterparts. The ideal candidate will have completed (or be close to completing) a PhD in medical anthropology, linguistic anthropology, sociology, science and technology studies (STS), medical humanities, or a related social science field. The fellow will be directly mentored by Dr. Laura Sikstrom at KCNI and work collaboratively with all members of the Predictive Care Lab.

Interested applicants may submit a full academic CV, a cover letter (1–2 pages), a brief 1-page statement of their research interests and a short writing sample to: laura.sikstrom@camh.ca.
