about the project

we are seeking a highly motivated, passionate, and competitive candidate for fully funded phd positions in developing advanced materials for biomedical applications. the successful candidate will join an interdisciplinary team working in the areas of high interest for neural interfaces or brain-computer interfaces. this position is based at the school of physics, university of melbourne, collaborating with the department of biomedical engineering, university of melbourne as well as other universities across australia and overseas.

about this position

this position forms part of dr tong’s research program funded by the australian research council. the phd student will work towards the development of novel carbon-based materials for applications in neural stimulation and recording.

neural interfaces or brain-computer interfaces have enabled direct communication between the brain and the outside world. by detecting and controlling neurological activity using implanted microelectrodes, these technologies have greatly advanced our scientific understanding of the brain and are under development for treating neurological diseases. in this exciting project, you will synthesise novel carbon electrodes, and characterize the electrodes using techniques such as electrochemistry, sem, xps, and raman spectroscopy. you will then perform biological experiments such as cell culture to study how carbon surfaces interact with neuronal cells and reveal the underlying mechanisms using electrophysiology and other techniques such as mrna sequencing. the materials and technologies developed in this project will solve the major challenges in neural interface development by improving the lifetime and performance of implantable devices.

the successful applicant will be enrolled at the university of melbourne, parkville campus. the university of melbourne ranks first in australia and 33 globally according to times higher education and has one of the world-best environments for biomedical research. the student will be primarily supervised by dr wei tong (arc decra fellow) and be advised by prof steven prawer (fellow of the australian academy of science, professor in physics), at the school of physics.

we are looking for students with:
·      a first-class honours degree, masters degree or equivalent
·      research experience in material fabrication, electrochemistry, cell culture, neurophysiology, or biomolecule analysis (desired but not required)
·      analytical thinking, data analysis and critical problem-solving skills
·      ability to work collaboratively but also independently
·      fluency in written and oral english
