Dr. Scot Kristian Hill is a Professor in the Department of Psychology within Rosalind Franklin University's College of Health Professions, specializing in clinical neuropsychology and psychosis research. His work integrates neuroimaging, genetic analysis, and cognitive testing to investigate neurocognitive deficits in schizophrenia and related disorders. Education PhD in School Psychology, Ball State University (specializing in Clinical Neuropsychology) Postdoctoral Fellowship, Thomas Jefferson University Hospital Postdoctoral Fellowship, Brain Behavior Laboratory, University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine Research Focus : Dr. Hill's laboratory investigates the neural mechanisms of working memory dysfunction in psychosis, with emphasis on frontostriatal communications and electrophysiological markers. His team develops digital neuropsychological assessment tools and examines intermediate phenotypes across psychotic disorders using multimodal approaches including EEG, fMRI, and genetic analyses. Current projects explore cognitive heterogeneity in first-episode psychosis and neurotransmitter regulation at genetic and systems levels. Publication Trends : Recent work shows increasing focus on digital assessment tools (e.g., web-based performance validity tests), cognitive heterogeneity within diagnostic categories, and gene-treatment interactions in psychosis. Collaborative studies through the B-SNIP consortium dominate his schizophrenia research, while methodological innovations characterize his neuropsychological assessment publications. Awards NIMH National Research Service Award Fellowship NIMH Mentored Patient-Oriented Research Career Development Award NIH Clinical Research Loan Repayment Program Award Mentorship & Funding : Dr. Hill has trained 16 PhD graduates and currently supervises 5 graduate students across clinical psychology and counseling programs. His grant portfolio includes NIMH-funded investigations of neurocognition in first-episode schizophrenia, shared genetic liability in psychotic disorders, and cognitive effects of antipsychotic medications, with recent emphasis on digital phenotyping and tele-neuropsychology. Research Infrastructure : He leads the RFU Psychosis Research Laboratory and serves as a core investigator in the multi-site Bipolar and Schizophrenia Network on Intermediate Phenotypes (B-SNIP), conducting large-scale studies of cognitive and neurobiological markers across the psychosis spectrum.
