Through a combination of innovation in health service delivery and research focused on new interventions, the CEYMH is a hub for transformative change for youth facing a variety of needs – health, social, educational, employment, among others. The Centre focuses not only on research to generate new knowledge, but to directly applying such knowledge in the delivery of youth mental health services and providing training to a new generation of clinicians, researchers, and support workers with expertise by experience.
Research project: DIALOG is a fully-funded large international (Canada, USA, UK, Netherlands, Italy, Australia) and interdisciplinary initiative supported by the Wellcome Trust (2025-2030), headquartered at the CEYMH in Montreal. This program leverages multiple innovative approaches—including computational neuroscience, large language models, and neuroimaging—to study disorganization in psychosis, with the overarching goal of advancing understanding and developing novel treatments.
Work environment: The Project Specialist will primarily work at the Douglas Research Centre, Canada’s second-largest mental health research facility, and The Neuro, a globally recognized Neurological Institute. These dynamic, multidisciplinary research communities explore nearly every facet of mental health and neuroscience, from genes to society. Both centres are affiliated with McGill University, offering access to its extensive research and training network.
Employment advantages: Comprehensive health benefits package, vacation and illness entitlement, adherence to the Government and Public Employees Retirement Plan, on-site daycare centre, on-site fitness centre, affordable parking, access to leadership and mentoring opportunities, to name a few.
