****Multiple PhD Opportunities Available in Biomechanics, Engineering, Computer Science, Clinical Sciences.****
The Opportunity
Along with colleagues from Griffith University, QUT (Queensland University of Technology), La Trobe University and The University of Queensland we've recently been awarded a 5-year project to develop technology solutions to enable precision musculoskeletal health.
Project Overview
Lower limb musculoskeletal pain is persistent, disabling, and affects up to 50% of Australians, at any given time. Clinical treatments are ineffective, due to difficulties in assessing the internal forces acting on the joints and soft tissues that ultimately lead to pain. Together withconsumers, we will close this gap, fusing expertise and technologies from the fields of biomechanics, computer vision and artificial intelligenceto deliver BioMotionAi. This technology will enable a precision care framework, centred on highly accurate, real-time assessment of joint andsoft tissue forces, delivered in a clinical setting. This technology will revolutionise patient care, ensuring that patients receive the righttreatment at the right time.
Fantastic opportunity to undertake a PhD while working within an experienced and highly successful team that spans engineering, computer science and clinical sciences. Be part of a team that is developing a solutions to revolutionise care for people with lower limb musculoskeletal pain.
PhD Scholarships include in full tuition fee waiver and tax-free living stipend. Scholarships open to high-quality international and domestic applicants
The successful candidate will be based at Griffith University, Gold Coast, Australia, with Associate Professor Luke Kelly and a large team of collaborators from the fields of health, engineering and computer science.
Our Centre
The Griffith Centre of Biomedical and Rehabilitation Engineering (GCORE) is situated within the Menzies Health Institute Queensland at Griffith University. The main research areas of GCORE are neuromusculoskeletal engineering and orthopaedics, with focus on the development and use of disruptive technologies to enable personalised management of chronic and acute health conditions, as well as assess function and performance. We are looking for qualified and motivated individuals for PhD scholarship positions. The GCORE team is a large cross-disciplinary team comprised of engineers, clinicians, biomedical scientists, industrial designers, and research leaders. Our approach is to work collaboratively, but with a keen focus on research excellence.
About You
The selection of applicants for the award of higher degree research scholarships at Griffith University involves consideration of your academic merit and research background. A successful candidate is expected to hold a bachelor’s degree with first-class honours or a master’s degree. These degrees should incorporate a significant research component in either of biomechanics, biomedical engineering, mechanical engineering, computer science or related degrees.
Essential skills include established computer programming skills (MATLAB, Python or C++).
International applicants should ensure that English Language Proficiency requirements for the program are met before formally applying. Applicants to research programs will need to show they meet:
The 2024 Griffith University Postgraduate Research Scholarship has an annual stipend of $33,480 (indexed) for a period of up to three years of full-time study. Please see the GUPRS Conditions of Award for more information.
A successful International applicant will also be awarded a Griffith University International Postgraduate Research Scholarship to cover tuition fees for up to three years. Please see the GUIPRS Conditions of Award for more information.
