Job description

Heart failure is a major health problem, causing severe symptoms and increased mortality. Essential micronutrient deficiencies are common in patients with heart failure, adding to the burden of disease. The most important of these are deficiencies in selenium (prevalence 25%) and iron (50-60%). Our team's recent research has resulted in optimized methods to detect patients with these deficiencies (Grote Beverborg et al. JAMA Cardiology 2019 and Bomer et al. EJHF 2020) and to identify how these deficiencies affect the human cardiomyocyte. Although multiple treatment strategies are now available, further research is required to determine their effectiveness. For this project, the PhD candidate will conduct clinical and epidemiological investigations to explore the optimal treatment method. This includes examining factors such as the route of administration, specific compound selection, mechanism of action, and overall efficacy. Collaboration with a fellow PhD student focused on translational research will involve validating mechanisms of action in human cardiac tissues. The candidate should possess an interest in clinical cardiology and proficiency in data analysis. Responsibilities will encompass executing clinical studies, which involve patient inclusion, treatment administration, and follow-up, as well as conducting data analyses. Additionally, if interested, the PhD student can actively participate in translational projects aimed at uncovering the pathophysiology within the laboratory setting, particularly in 3D cardiac tissues. The results of the studies will be published in peer-reviewed Journals and will lead to an Academic dissertation (promotion).

Job requirements

A master’s degree in medicine. Interest in cardiology. Able to express oneself in English in word and writing.

The UMCG has a preventive Hepatitis B policy. The UMCG can provide you with the vaccination, should it be required for your position.

A full-time appointment for one year (36 hours a week), with the possibility of extension for a maximum of four years. Your salary will be a minimum of € 3.359,- gross per month and a maximum of € 5.292,- gross per month (scale 10), depending on working experience, based on a full-time appointment.
