PhD Opportunity in Neuroscience-Informed Addiction Treatment

This is an exceptional opportunity to be part of a fully funded PhD program that's revolutionizing addiction treatment in Australia.

We're working on the first real-world implementation trial of a scientifically proven neurocognitive training intervention for individuals undergoing alcohol withdrawal.

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'll work within a dynamic, interdisciplinary team – including fellow researchers and engineers – 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 Turning Point.

Supervision will be provided by Professor Victoria Manning and Professor Patrick Olivier, combining expertise 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.
