Fully funded PhD: Neuroscience-Informed Addiction Treatment
3 weeks ago
We're thrilled to announce a unique opportunity to join a fully funded PhD program that's redefining addiction treatment in Australia. This is your chance to be part of the first real-world implementation trial of a scientifically proven neurocognitive training intervention for individuals undergoing alcohol withdrawal.
Backed by an NHMRC Partnership Project Grant, this visionary research will co-design and deploy a next-generation Cognitive Bias Modification (CBM) platform and smartphone app, developed in collaboration with consumers and clinicians from across Australia. The project will harness cutting-edge AI technologies to personalise CBM training, enhance patient outcomes, and unlock deeper insights into treatment effectiveness and user experience.
As a PhD candidate, you'll work within a dynamic, interdisciplinary team – including fellow CBM PhDs and Research Engineers – to develop and implement a clinician-friendly infrastructure for delivering CBM during inpatient care, and a seamless app-based experience for continued training post-discharge.
Key Highlights:
- AI-powered personalisation of cognitive training
- Human-centred design of digital health tools
- Real-world impact on addiction recovery
- Collaborative research environment across clinical and tech domains
This applied PhD is hosted by Monash University's Eastern Health Clinical School (EHCS), in partnership with Turning Point, a national leader in addiction treatment and research. Supervision will be provided by Professor Victoria Manning (EHCS & Turning Point) and Professor Patrick Olivier (Action Lab: Australia), combining expertise in addiction science, implementation science and human-centred design.
Eligibility: Open to Australian and New Zealand citizens or permanent residents.
Funding: Generously supported by the Ramsay Health Research Foundation and the CSIRO Next Generation AI Graduate Program.
This is more than a scholarship; it's a launchpad for shaping the future of addiction care.
What's on offer:
- $43,333 AUD/year tax-free stipend (for 3.5 years, indexed annually)
- $5,000 AUD international travel allowance
- $840 AUD thesis allowance
- $5,000 AUD cost-of-living allowance ($2,000 at enrolment, $3,000 at confirmation)
- 6-month industry placement (or equivalent)
- Expert supervision from leaders in addiction science, AI, and human-computer interaction
To apply, submit an expression of interest (including CV and degree documents) at: by Sunday, 28 September 2025.
