Neonatal Brain Injury Researcher

4 weeks ago


Clayton South, Victoria, Australia Monash University. Full time

The Opportunity

This PhD program aims to use state-of-the-art multi-channel near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) to assess the functional brain response of infants born preterm in long-term follow-up.

The project utilises social-visual stimuli (social videos of people interactions), and aims to detect socio-cognitive disorders early in preterm infants.

The program will focus on correlations between neurovascular physiology, neuroimaging and neurodevelopmental assessments.

This is an exciting opportunity to be involved in clinical follow-up of preterm infants and to assess their neurovascular physiology during infancy.

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

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

Supervisory Team

The principal supervisor will be Associate Professor Flora Wong. Co-supervisor will be Dr Robin Laycock – vision neuroscientist at RMIT University.

Candidates will need to fulfil the Monash University minimum requirements for admission to a PhD.
