PhD – Burnout prevention: good lighting and circadian alignment

 

Apply before: January 7th, 2019
Institute:
Eindhoven University
Job specification: We are looking for a motivated and talented junior researcher to work with us on the project concerning burnout prevention, light(ing) conditions, and sleep. Despite the prevalence of burnout, our current understanding of burnout and how to prevent it is still incomplete. The impact of lighting conditions at work and sleep (disturbances) on the severity of burnout complaints, and the development of burnout complaints over time have remained under-investigated. This PhD project aims to address this gap by tracking and quantifying burnout-related symptoms, psychosocial factors, light exposure and sleep-wake patterns among a large group of employees who are under a high workload by means of a so-called ‘quantified-self approach’. Based on those insights, a data-driven, user-tailored lighting intervention will be developed and tested to investigate if the manipulation of lighting conditions can reduce burnout complaints. During this project, we will integrate knowledge and measures from psychology, chronobiology, lighting research, and psychophysiology. The ambition of this project is to steer early detection of burnout risk and promote sustainable employability.

Neurobiology of Alcohol Use Disorder

 

Apply before: December 31st, 2018
Institute:
University of Gothenburg (Sweden)
Job specification: Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) is a comorbid and highly prevalent disorder, causing severe health
problems for individual and high costs to the society. Existing pharmacotherapy has shown limited efficacy and therefore further investigation of possible neurochemical targets of alcohol are warranted and could lead to new pharmacological interventions.

treatments of AUD using the operant slef-administration model in rats. The postdocral fellow will work under the research umbrella of Associate professors Jerlhag, Ericson and Adermark. Initially, the postdoctoral fellow will have the unique opportunity to continue to set up the operant selfadministration
