Phd Position Stress-in-action

1 week geleden

Groningen, Nederland UMCG Voltijd

**Functiebeschrijving**:
Stress is the ‘buzzword’ of modern life and impacts all aspects of daily life. When stress occurs frequently, remains high for sustained periods of time, and/or overwhelms people’s resources, it can cause mental and cardiometabolic disease. The NWO Gravitation project “Stress-in-Action” capitalizes on the fast advances in technology and big data analytics to move stress research from the lab to daily life.

A theoretical framework of daily-life stressors and stress responses will be developed using novel insights from ambulatory assessments in large, long-running Dutch cohorts and from experimental validation studies. This generates novel, mechanistic understanding of 1) how responses to daily-life stressors arise from the temporal, dynamic interplay between context and person-specific factors, 2) how daily-life stressors and responses can be reliably measured in real-time, and 3) how and when potential beneficial stress-response mechanisms turn into detrimental effects on mental and cardiometabolic health. This will enable the development of novel monitoring and intervention strategies to track and reduce daily-life stressor and stress responses and their health impact.

**Your PhD project: Identifying and measuring contextual factors that shape daily-life stress**
The goal of the project is to identify and measure contextual factors that shape daily-life stressors and stress responses. The project will develop a taxonomy including traditional contextual stress
