Position: Female-specific risk factors for cardiovascular disease in Aotearoa New Zealand

Supervisors: Associate Professor Katrina Poppe, Dr Nikki Earle

This is an exciting opportunity to undertake a fully-funded PhD, to develop skills in health data analysis, and to contribute to more equitable health outcomes for women.

Background: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the primary killer of women in New Zealand (NZ), and the immense burden of CVD on women and their whānau is often underestimated. Underrepresentation of women in clinical trials has resulted in guidelines for CVD prevention, diagnosis, and medical treatment that underperform for women. The evidence is clear that women have different cardiovascular risk factors that manifest across the life-course, and differing symptoms and outcomes of CVD, but this is often not recognised by patients and providers. Female-specific risk factors for CVD can include pre-eclampsia, gestational hypertension or diabetes, peripartum cardiomyopathy, and early menopause yet these remain unrecognised in established CVD risk screening.

Project summary: The aim of this project is to obtain data about female-specific cardiovascular risk factors relating to pregnancy and menopause, and assess whether using these data can improve models for CVD risk prediction in women. This will include national health data, as well as relevant localised databases and registries.

This project will develop the evidence base for relevant cardiovascular risk factors to be routinely recorded, making them available in clinical practice and for research.

We are part of a NZ-wide group undertaking a program of research on women’s heart health, and this PhD project provides an opportunity to join this team, and to take part in other related aspects of the wider research program including community engagement and education.

Candidates will have a degree in a biomedical or related quantitative discipline, and an interest in the application of statistical methods to cardiovascular research. Interested candidates must have a GPA of 7.0 or above.  Experience with routinely collected health data and the use of statistical software such as R would be an advantage.

The project will be based in Auckland, New Zealand and hosted by the Faculty of Medical and Health Sciences at the University of Auckland. The funding is provided by Pūtahi Manawa | Healthy Hearts for Aotearoa New Zealand (a Centre of Research Excellence focused on equity in heart health) and includes a stipend plus compulsory domestic fees for three years.

How to apply: To express your interest in this PhD research and scholarship please submit the following items to Katrina Poppe [email protected] and Nikki Earle [email protected] :

• a cover letter outlining your interest in this project
• a brief CV including qualifications, achievements, publications, work experience, and referees
• a copy of your academic transcript(s).

Whangārei Hospital is the largest hospital in Northland, providing secondary care services across the region and supported by three rural hospitals in Dargaville, Kaitaia and the Bay of Islands. Whilst this position is pre-dominantly based in Whangārei, the successful candidate will also work in rural areas from outpatient clinics as needed. Currently there is no on-call commitment, however as we are a growing service, this will change once an inpatient service is established.

As an Interventional Cardiologist you will join a small but close-knit team dedicated to their patients. You will bring your specialist experience and embrace the challenges involved in developing the service to its maximum potential. You will be a motivated team player that is patient focused. You will play a key part in the development of the service in order to improve access to cardiac care for a region that has historically been undeserved.

To be considered, you must have or be eligible for vocational registration in an Internal Medicine (Cardiology) scope of practice with the Medical Council of NZ and have completed interventional cardiology training. Advanced cardiology training is essential and those with pacing skills would be advantageous to the growth of the service.
