Postdoc Position in Cardiovascular Research on the Genetic Background of Hypercholesterolemia

Our lab is specifically interested in the genetics of familial hypercholesterolemia and other dyslipidemias. LDL-cholesterol levels as a key risk factor of atherosclerosis development have a strong genetic background. It has been shown that individuals with monogenic hypercholesterolemia are at higher risk of premature cardiovascular disease than individuals with polygenic hypercholesterolemia, and those are at higher risk than individuals with lifestyle-related high cholesterol levels. Thus, the determination of the individual genetic risk of hypercholesterolemia might help establish the individual risk of cardiovascular disease development and might facilitate a personalized approach to therapy. A specific effort is being made to identify a genetic cause for the severe FH phenotype in patients who tested negative after standard genetic analysis. We are particularly focusing on polygenic factors and polygenic risk scores, the role of which has not been sufficiently defined and elucidated yet. We are also studying the importance of molecular genetic diagnostics in familial hypercholesterolemia neonatal/paediatric screening.

About Us

The Faculty of Medicine, Health and Human Sciences is ambitiously pushing the boundaries of progressive thinking to solve some of the big issues of our time, on both a national and global scale. The Faculty forms part of MQ Health, an integrated academic health sciences enterprise which incorporates Macquarie University Hospital and primary and speciality clinics. We have active research programs and our Faculty hosts the Australian Institute of Health Innovation (AIHI), an internationally acclaimed powerhouse researching health systems, e-health and patient safety. The Institute draws from the expertise of over 320 staff, students and visiting personnel working on over 120 different projects at any given time, publishing more than one peer-reviewed publication on average per day.

The Centre for Healthcare Resilience and Implementation Science (CHRIS), within AIHI, has a multi-stream program of research which focuses on delivering health system improvement by working with patients, healthcare providers and policy makers. We are methodologically sophisticated, multidisciplinary and draw on assembled and collaborative expertise in areas including health systems, policy, medicine, nursing, psychology, anthropology, sociology and complexity science. Our research underpins new models of care, fashions improved services for patients, builds better policy, provides an evidence base to guide what people do, and transforms the systems through which care is delivered.

About the team

The National Paediatric Research Translation Initiative (N-PARTI) is an Australia-wide group of researchers, clinicians, and consumers that aims to improve the health of Australian children. It is a $5M, five-year project led by Professor Jeffrey Braithwaite at the AIHI, and involves collaborators from Perth Children's Hospital, Gold Coast Hospital and Health Service, Sydney Children's Hospital, and the University of New South Wales. Other collaborators, including Primary Healthcare Networks, will join during the implementation of the project.

N-PARTI aims to use implementation science in three priority areas, as exemplars, to improve primary care for child health: Asthma, Type 1 Diabetes, and Antibiotic overuse. N-PARTI will conduct a series of implementation research projects to increase the amount of care provided by general practitioners that is in line with best practice guidelines for these priority areas.

Central to N-PARTI is the effective implementation of interventions to increase uptake of evidence-based care guidelines that will significantly improve children's healthcare across the nation.

About the role

We are looking for a Postdoctoral Researcher (Level A) or Research Fellow (Level B) with excellent mixed-methods research skills to work as the Mixed-Methods Researcher within the N-PARTI team, across all three priority areas. An understanding of the healthcare consumer and clinician context is key to effective implementation, so in the first two years of the position the Mixed-Methods Researcher will lead a range of studies to understand this context to help shape interventions, and to learn from the implementation process in pilot and demonstration programs. Subsequent research will be undertaken to understand the barriers and facilitators to intervention adoption, with fidelity, at scale.

The Mixed-Methods Researcher will work with expert advisory groups in each priority area, including consumer representatives, and when studying and implementing interventions, will work closely with participating Primary Healthcare Networks and General Practices. The Mixed-Methods Researcher will work with the project's Implementation Scientist to develop and integrate an understanding of the implementation context. They will also work with the project's Health Economist to ensure coverage of all relevant costs and benefits associated with program implementation. Appointment as Postdoctoral Researcher or Research Fellow will depend upon qualifications and experience.

To Apply

To be considered for this position, applicants are asked to provide (1) a cover letter addressing the selection criteria below and (2) their curriculum vitae (including contact information for three referees) as part of the application process.

Essential criteria:


	A PhD in health services research or related discipline such as health or medicine, psychology or the social sciences
	Demonstrated understanding of the Australian health system, particularly of the Australian primary care system.
	Demonstrated ability to undertake qualitative and quantitative data collection and analysis
	Demonstrated capacity coordinating large multi-institutional projects and working a part of interdisciplinary research teams
	Experience undertaking research involving consumers and/or clinicians
	An understanding of mixed-methods research in implementation science
	Demonstrated track record of peer reviewed publications of mixed-methods research in high quality journals
	Demonstrated highly developed communication skills both verbal and written
	Demonstrated capacity to present papers at conferences and workshops
	Demonstrated capacity to work with a range of stakeholders across healthcare including consumers, clinicians, managers and policy makers
	Capacity to contribute to the academic life and administrative duties of the Centre and Institute
	Capacity for and interest in interdisciplinary and multi-method research
	Capacity to travel to research sites, including interstate, for up to one week at a time.


Desirable criteria:


	Experience in primary healthcare and/or experience in paediatric care, Type 1 Diabetes or responsible use of antibiotics
