Postdoc Scientist Cardiovascular Epidemiology Group
Erasmus Medisch Centrum
JOB DESCRIPTIONAtrial fibrillation (AF) is progressive cardiac arrhythmia with a highly variable clinical picture. AF episodes last for few minutes in one patient and for hours to days in another patient. It is currently unknown which factors determine the AF severity. This project focuses on unraveling these factors in 2 different populations. The first population includes the general population of the Rotterdam Study. This part focuses on the development and course of AF in asymptomatic individuals. The second part consists of patients undergoing open heart surgery who develop post-operative AF to a variable extent. In these patients, complex electrical signals on the surface of the heart are recorded prior to surgery, resulting in a huge amount of signals per patient (
200.000).This project is a highly unique opportunity for someone seeking an interdisciplinary experience to work with a large collection of epidemiological datasets and electrical signal processing and mapping. The successful candidate will be working at the intersection of Biomedical Informatics and Data Science, Epidemiology, and Cardiac Electrophysiology. The candidate will be responsible for development and validation of signal processing algorithms, analyses with large epidemiological and patient datasets, and supervision of Master and PhD students.REQUIREMENTS
CONDITIONS OF EMPLOYMENT
November and an individual travel expense package. * Pension insurance with ABP, we take care of approximately 2/3 of themonthly contribution. * Special benefits, such as an incompany physiotherapist and bicyclerepairer. There is also a gym where you can work on your fitness after work. * An

The candidate will use biological, electrocardiogram and health data from the Rotterdam Study for this research.
Another part of the project is embedded in ongoing research into electrical mechanisms of various cardiac arrhythmias in which unique intra-operative electrical measurements are made by custom-made equipment designed by engineers from the Delft University of Technology.ADDITIONAL INFORMATIONFor more information about this position please contact: Maryam Kavousi, principal investigator Cardiovascular Epidemiology. m.kavousi@erasmusmc.nl.
