I’m Dr. Courey, an Assistant Professor at LSU.
I am broadly interested in exploring novel applications of Bayesian models in organizational science to address limitations of traditional statistical methods (e.g., small sample problems, challenges communciating results effectively). 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).
- Research methods (e.g., Bayesian statistics, psychometrics, multilevel modeling, data visualizations)
- Statistical communication (e.g., frequentist versus Bayesian methods)
- Employment discrimination (e.g., disparate impact and treatment)
- 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.
