PHD Opportunities at TBMH
Thompson Brain & Mind Healthcare (TBMH), in collaboration with the Australian National University (ANU), is leading a world-first project using artificial intelligence (AI) and neuroimaging to improve how mental health is diagnosed and treated.
This PhD project will apply advanced machine learning and statistics to develop predictive models that identify individual risk for conditions such as depression, anxiety, and dementia.
Specifically, the research will focus on building AI-driven tools for early detection and personalised treatment, capable of estimating an individual’s likelihood of response across multiple therapies. By enabling clinicians to make faster and more precise treatment decisions, this work will improve outcomes and quality of life for people affected by mental illness.
PhD positions are now open for candidates passionate about neuroscience, AI, and mental health innovation. Successful candidate must have:
· An Honours degree (First Class) or a Masters degree with a
substantial research component in Computer Science, Biomedical Engineering, Neuroscience, Statistics or related disciplines
· strong skills in neuroimaging (EEG, MRI) analysis or signal processing
· strong coding and analytical skills (Python or R).
· an interest in AI for healthcare, neuroscience, and translational applications.
