Unlocking the Secrets of Neonatal Brain Development
This PhD position is an exciting opportunity to contribute to a cutting-edge research project focused on understanding neonatal brain injury and neurodevelopmental follow-up. Our team uses advanced multi-channel near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) to assess the functional brain response of preterm infants in long-term follow-up.
The Opportunity
We are seeking a highly motivated and talented individual with a background or training in clinical neonatology or follow-up of high-risk infants. The successful candidate will be part of a multidisciplinary cohort of clinicians and researchers based at Monash Newborn and Department of Paediatrics.
Project Overview
The project aims to detect socio-cognitive disorders early in preterm infants using social-visual stimuli. We will focus on correlations between neurovascular physiology, neuroimaging, and neurodevelopmental assessments. This is an excellent chance to broaden your research scope and skills by being involved in experimental/animal studies of neurovascular research.
Key Responsibilities
- Conduct NIRS measurements and analyze data to understand neonatal brain development and injury.
- Collaborate with our team of clinicians and researchers to develop new research ideas and approaches.
- Publish research findings in top-tier journals and present at international conferences.
Supervisory Team
You will be supervised by Associate Professor Flora Wong, a renowned expert in neonatal brain development, brain injury, and neuroprotection. You will also have the opportunity to work with Dr Robin Laycock, a vision neuroscientist at RMIT University, and other co-supervisors depending on the project focus.
Eligibility Requirements
Candidates must meet the Monash University minimum requirements for admission to a PhD. Please refer to the university's website for more information.
How to Apply
To express your interest in this PhD position, please submit a cover letter, CV, academic transcript(s), and any additional supporting documents as requested. For general instructions on how to apply for roles at Monash, please refer to the 'How to apply for Monash Jobs' page.
