Phd Candidate 'the Role of Physical Closeness in
4 maanden geleden
4 years **_Prof.dr. Carolina de Weerth (Developmental Psychobiology Lab; Radboud University Medical Center) is looking for a PhD within the project Nurturing Connections: The Role of Physical Closeness in Parent-Infant Well-being and Development. This 4-year project (1.0FTE) is financed by NWO and focused on early parenthood and infancy. Do you want to take on this challenging project with us?_**
The transition to parenthood can be challenging and is often related to mental and physical problems in parents. Parent-infant physical closeness (PIPC) sharply decreases over the first months in Western families, while studies show that PIPC is important for healthy child development and potentially also for maternal wellbeing. PIPC may hence offer unique opportunities to support both child development and new parents’ wellbeing. However, large gaps in knowledge on fathers, causal associations, underlying mechanisms, and long-term relations preclude further developments. Our multidisciplinary team will fill these gaps with sophisticated intervention, experimental, and longitudinal studies on daily life PIPC: baby carrying, skin-to-skin contact, and room sharing. We will determine whether, to what extent, and through what mechanisms easily accessible avenues for increasing PIPC can lead to improved maternal, paternal, and child mental and physical health, both concurrently as well as later in childhood and adolescence.
The project includes collaborators from Erasmus University Rotterdam, Utrecht University, and University of Trento. As a PhD on this project, you will be part of a team consisting of senior researchers, a Postdoc, a student assistant, as well as perinatal professionals and parents. Also, you will be affiliated to the Donders Institute for Brain Cognition and Behaviour and the Baby & Child Research Center.
