I’m Dr. Courey, an incoming Assistant Professor in I-O Psychology at Louisiana State University.
As an industrial and organizational (I-O) psychologist, I am broadly interested in applying Bayesian methods to applied organizational problems to improve statistical communication and decision-making. I have recieved funding for my research from the National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship Program (NSF GRFP), the Society for Industrial and Organizational Psychology (SIOP) Foundation, the American Psychological Association (APA), and Human Resources Research Organization (HumRRO).
- Fairness in staffing (e.g., disparate impact and treatment)
- Research methods (e.g., Bayesian statistics, psychometrics, multilevel modeling, data visualizations)
- Statistical communication (e.g., frequentist versus Bayesian methods)
- Decision-making (e.g., risk/uncertainty)
I was a predoctoral fellow at the Educational Testing Service (ETS) from 2023-2025 and have experience doing data analysis and measurement-related work for HumRRO, the Association of American Medical Colleges, OpenStax, and Development Corps. While at Rice, I also provided pro bono consulting to animal shelters through the Volunteer Program Assessment (VPA), and supported Title IX rights on campus as a member of Graduate STRIVE: Students Transforming Rice Into a Violence-Free Environment.
In my free time you can find me listening to podcasts or music, adventuring outside, working out, reading something, or some combination thereof.
