Unlock the Future of Addiction Recovery

We are excited to announce a groundbreaking opportunity for a PhD candidate to join a fully funded research program that is revolutionizing addiction treatment in Australia.

This innovative project aims to 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 personalize CBM training, enhance patient outcomes, and unlock deeper insights into treatment effectiveness and user experience.

As a PhD candidate, you will work within a dynamic, interdisciplinary team 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 personalization of cognitive training
  • Human-centered 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, in partnership with a national leader in addiction treatment and research.

Supervision will be provided by leading experts in addiction science, implementation science, and human-centered 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)
