Interested in joining Australia’s leading biomedical engineering lab?

We’re looking for the next generation of engineers whose hard work, integrity and enthusiasm will help us help the patients of tomorrow.

ICETLab is currently looking to enrol postgraduate research students in biomedical engineering and to appoint undergraduate work experience student to four exciting projects.

Learn more about these projects and how to apply below.

Please ensure you have read the CCRG Research Prospectus and understand the Metro North External Researcher Policy before applying.

Current projects include:

Flow Modulation with Artificial Heart/Lung Machines

  • This project aims to reduce postoperative complications by developing a flow modulation algorithm for ECMO devices.

  • Suitable for prospective PhD students with background in Mechanical/Biomedical Engineering.

Algorithm Development for Critical Care Applications

  • Patients admitted to Intensive Care Units (ICU) have the highest mortality of all reported in-hospital patient deaths. Several sensors are used in the intensive care environment, which may be used to assist clinicians in identifying disease states.

  • This project aims to develop algorithms (model-driven / data-driven) to assist clinicians to better monitor ICU patients and perhaps be able to identify subtle changes in monitors to predict and identify disease stats earlier.

Anatomical Models for Surgical / Interventional Cardiothoracic Care

  • This project aims to assist the development of anatomical models for surgical / interventional care for cardiac applications.

  • Deliverables include producing an aortic to femoral arterial vascular silicone model, and creating Trachea and Ventricular models.

Medical Device Testing

  • Novel medical devices require bench top testing to ensure safety and product specifications are met. ICETLab is a world leader in bench top modelling and testing, with companies regularly travelling from around the world to have their products tested and evaluated by our engineers.

  • This important role will develop protocols and standard operating procedures for device testing.
