Fully funded PhD: Neuroscience-Informed Addiction Treatment
We're thrilled to announce a unique opportunity to join a fully funded PhD program that's redefining addiction treatment in Australia.
This is your chance to be part of the first real-world implementation trial of a scientifically proven neurocognitive training intervention for individuals undergoing alcohol withdrawal.
Backed by an NHMRC Partnership Project Grant, this visionary research will 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 personalise 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 CBM PhDs and Research 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.
