Clayton South, Victoria, Australia Monash University. Full time

We are seeking a talented researcher to join our team at Monash University as a PhD Scholar. The successful candidate will work on an exciting project investigating the functional brain response of infants born preterm using state-of-the-art multi-channel near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS).

This project aims to detect socio-cognitive disorders early in preterm infants by correlating neurovascular physiology, neuroimaging, and neurodevelopmental assessments.

The candidate will be part of a multidisciplinary cohort of clinicians and researchers based at Monash Newborn and Department of Paediatrics.

Our research group has a close link with the Ritchie Centre at The Hudson Institute of Medical Research, which conducts world-class basic research in perinatal medicine.

The principal supervisor will be Associate Professor Flora Wong, a renowned expert in neonatal brain development, brain injury, and neuroprotection.

The successful candidate will have the opportunity to develop their skills in clinical follow-up of preterm infants, neurovascular physiology, and experimental/animal studies.

To be eligible for this position, candidates must meet the Monash University minimum requirements for admission to a PhD.

The estimated salary for this role is AU$35,000 - AU$45,000 per annum, depending on qualifications and experience.
