PhD, Master’s & Postdoc Opportunities in Neuropsychology in Australia

RMIT University in Melbourne is offering a grant-funded PhD opportunity focused on myelin repair and therapeutic design . The project will investigate how the brain builds and repairs myelin, the insulating material that supports efficient neural communication, and how therapeutic strategies might be designed to promote this repair. The doctoral researcher will work across the Fleiss and Holien labs and use a combination of knockout mouse models and in vitro systems . The research will examine t...

This fully funded PhD will investigate precision medicine for low back pain , with the aim of improving how healthcare decisions are made and identifying which treatments work best for particular patients. The project will combine causal inference and machine learning across nationwide health databases and clinical trial data. The student will develop research expertise in data-driven treatment evaluation, health data analytics and methods for understanding variation in treatment outcomes. Resea...
