The project
EQUITY-AF is a Horizon Europe-funded project that aims to improve the diagnosis and treatment of atrial fibrillation by addressing differences related to biological sex and sociocultural gender factors.

The project will develop a sex-specific risk prediction tool that integrates hormonal, genetic and social factors. This approach aims to improve diagnostic technologies and inform more effective treatment strategies for people with atrial fibrillation.

The project brings together experts from several European countries. At Amsterdam UMC, the work package on sociocultural gender determinants is coordinated by Dr. David Doyle at the Department of Medical Psychology, Amsterdam UMC, location VUmc. You will work closely with Dr. Doyle's research group and collaborate with an international, interdisciplinary network of researchers in cardiovascular health.

About your role
As a postdoctoral researcher, you will investigate the social and cultural factors that influence gender and cardiovascular health, with a particular focus on women's health. You will contribute to research within EQUITY-AF and have opportunities to develop your own research interests in social factors related to gender and health.

The position is available for three years, with the possibility of renewal following a successful review at the end of the first year.

Your activities include:
  • Contributing to research studies developed as part of the EQUITY-AF project.
  • Investigating sociocultural gender determinants in cardiovascular health.
  • Collaborating with researchers from different disciplines and European institutions.
  • Developing your own research interests in gender, health and social factors.

About you
You are an independent and motivated researcher with a strong interest in gender and health. You are keen to contribute to research that improves women's health and healthcare.

You also have:
  • A PhD in a field relevant to gender and health, particularly cardiovascular health, such as psychology, neuroscience or public health, or be close to completing your PhD in one of these fields.
  • Excellent written and spoken English communication skills.
