7 days ago


Clayton South, Victoria, Australia Monash University Full time

We are seeking a highly motivated researcher to contribute to our innovative study on neonatal brain injury and neurodevelopmental follow-up.

This PhD program aims to detect socio-cognitive disorders early in preterm infants using multi-channel near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) and social-visual stimuli. The project will focus on correlations between neurovascular physiology, neuroimaging, and neurodevelopmental assessments.

The successful candidate will be part of a multidisciplinary cohort of clinicians and researchers based at Monash Newborn and Department of Paediatrics. Our team has a close link with the Ritchie Centre at The Hudson Institute of Medical Research, which conducts world-class basic research in perinatal medicine.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Conducting research on neonatal brain injury and neurodevelopmental follow-up
  • Collaborating with clinicians and researchers to develop and implement NIRS-based assessment tools
  • Contributing to the development of neurovascular physiology, neuroimaging, and neurodevelopmental assessments

Benefits of this role include:

  • A tax-free stipend, at the current value of $35,013 per annum
  • Opportunities for career advancement and professional growth
  • A dynamic and supportive work environment

To be successful in this role, you will need:

  • A strong background in clinical neonatology or follow-up of high-risk infants
  • Excellent research skills and experience working with NIRS-based assessment tools
  • Ability to work collaboratively as part of a multidisciplinary team

Eligibility requirements include:

  • Fulfillment of Monash University minimum requirements for admission to a PhD

If you are passionate about advancing our understanding of neonatal brain injury and neurodevelopmental follow-up, we encourage you to apply for this exciting opportunity.
