As a Research Fellow, you’ll contribute to the MRFF funded project “National data infrastructure to inform treatment in cerebral palsy”. Cerebral Palsy (CP), the most common physical disability in childhood, affects 19.5 million people worldwide. Many children with CP require orthopaedic surgery before age 15 to improve mobility, correct deformities, and sustain long-term ambulation, but evidence supporting surgical interventions remains limited. This project aims to create a national research platform with advanced technologies for multicentre benchmarking, and causal inference predictive modelling tools to identify the most effective treatments and optimal timing for intervention. The outcomes will inform evidence-based clinical guidelines for CP surgical care in Australia and globally. The appointee will have the opportunity to collaborate with researchers and clinical practitioners across 6 hospitals in Australia, as well as researchers in NZ and US, to develop cutting-edge AI algorithms and digital tools to inform CP intervention and treatment.
