Job description

The number of older people is rising rapidly; in the Netherlands, it is expected to increase more among immigrants than among natives. Poor health, chronic diseases, and functional limitations are much more prevalent among these immigrant populations than among natives. Sociocultural differences make it especially difficult for healthcare organisations to reach older immigrants effectively. Immigrant-sensitive healthcare interventions are needed, requiring insight into underlying sociocultural mechanisms explaining differences in health and health behaviour between older natives and immigrants. To improve (preventive) healthcare delivery quality and effectiveness for older immigrants, and to deliver care tailored to their needs, research on the sociocultural mechanisms leading to their poorer health and health behaviours is needed. Therefore, Prof.dr Anna Nieboer, Dr. Jane Cramm and Dr. Marleen Foets from the Socio-Medical Sciences (SMW) group within the institute of Health Policy and Management (iBMG) study the interplay between the influences of perceptions of ageing and the social environment on health and health behaviours among older Dutch natives and immigrants.
In 2014 pilot studies (focus groups and quantitative research) will be conducted among older natives, Turks, Surinamese, and Moroccans in the Netherlands. Using the national population register, a sample of Dutch, Turks, Surinamese, Moroccans independently living older adults (age > 70 years) residing in Rotterdam, Amsterdam, and The Hague will be identified for inclusion in our study. These people will be surveyed in 2015 and 2016.
For this study, we are searching for a PhD student. As a PhD student you contribute to literature review, gathering and analysing data. In addition, you will be involved in teaching activities within the bachelor Health, Policy & Management and in the master Health Care Management.

Requirements

The successful applicant for this position is expected to have a master’s degree in a relevant field, such as Health Sciences or other humanities like sociology. Furthermore, he or she should have good writing skills in Dutch and English and a strong motivation for doing scholarly research in the field of health care. We prefer candidates with great skills and hands-on experience with doing empirical research, quantitative research methods and data analysis. A firm grasp of Dutch is required.

Conditions of employment

A PhD student will initially receive a temporary contract for 1.5 years in order to assess his compatibility. When you prove to be an asset, you will receive a second temporary contract for 2.5 years. Remuneration will be in accordance with the PhD scale set by the CAO NU. Fulltime work will pay € 2.042.- before taxes in the first year, going up to € 2.612.- in the fourth and final year. In addition, there’s a set end-of-year bonus of 8.3% and there are generous opportunities for taking time off. Fulltime is considered to be 38 hours per week.

Contract type: Temporary,

Organisation

Erasmus University Rotterdam

The expertise of Erasmus University Rotterdam (EUR) is concentrated in the fields of  Business Administration,  Economics, Medicine and Health Sciences, Law, Social Sciences, History, Culture and Communication, and Philosophy.

Functiebeschrijving

The applicant will conduct research in the vascular research group of the dept. of Internal Medicine. This research is embedded in theme Vascular biology of the Cardiovascular Research Institute Maastricht (www.carim.unimaas.nl/).
A growing body of evidence demonstrates that increased adipose mass and the induced expression of adipokines contribute directly towards the burden of insulin resistance and the development of type 2 diabetes. We recently found that the accumulation of the advanced glycation/lipoxidation endproduct (AGEs/ALEs) N-(Carboxymethyl)lysine (CML) in the expanding adipose tissue and activation of the CML-RAGE axis in adipocytes is a novel mechanism contributing to the dysregulation of adipokines. Moreover, activation of the CML-RAGE axis decreased the expression of glyoxalase-1 i.e the enzyme detoxifying the main AGE precursor methylglyoxal (MG), in adipocytes. Our hypothesis is that inhibition of the accumulation of CML and formation of MG leads to amelioration of adipose-tissue derived adipokines and a decreased risk for the development of obesity-associated insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. The main objectives of this study are to elucidate the association of CML and MG in adipose tissue with progression of insulin resistance and to elucidate whether intervention strategies to inhibit CML and MG accumulation are able to attenuate the development of insulin resistance. We will investigate whether intervention strategies to inhibit CML and MG accumulation are able to attenuate the impaired adipokine-profile in obesity and to improve insulin sensitivity (animal studies) and whether MGO and/or MGO-derived AGEs are directly involved in vascular insulin resistance/signaling (ex-vivo studies). The impact, from a clinical point of view, will be that this study will lead to new possibilities for intervention.

Functie-eisen

Degree in biology, biochemistry, medicine or health sciences. Experience with animal work is a prerequisite and possession of a Laboratory Animal license is an advantage. Subsequent to the PhD project, there will be the possibility for candidates with a degree in medicine of a residency program in Internal Medicine
