PhD Scholarship in Multimodal Imaging for Epilepsy Surgery Assessment

id="offer-description" class="ecl-u-type-heading-2 ecl-u-mt-none ecl-u-mb-l">Offer Description Advance the Future of Epilepsy Care Through Multimodal Brain Imaging. Full-time, fixed-term (3.5 years) position at our Hawthorn campus. Scholarship stipend of $42,440 per annum. Are you passionate about epilepsy research, neuroimaging, and developing innovative data analysis pipelines? This exciting PhD scholarship offers the opportunity to work on world-leading research aimed at improving outcomes for people living with drug-resistant epilepsy. Based within Swinburne University's Centre for Mental Health and Brain Sciences, this full-time PhD scholarship is linked to a successful NHMRC Ideas Grant focused on advancing epilepsy surgery eligibility and outcomes through multimodal non-invasive neuroimaging. About the Project . Accurately identifying the brain regions responsible for epileptic seizures remains one of the greatest challenges in determining whether a patient is a suitable candidate for epilepsy surgery. As a PhD candidate, you will join a multidisciplinary team investigating how advanced neuroimaging technologies can be integrated to improve the localisation of epileptogenic brain regions. You will receive training in a range of state-of-the-art imaging modalities, including:. Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI). High-Density Electroencephalography (HDEEG). Magnetoencephalography (MEG). Structural Magnetic Resonance Imaging (sMRI). A key focus of the project wi
