Studiejob - Glostrup
Department of Brain and Spinal Cord Injury, The Neuroscience Centre, Rigshospitalet
Copenhagen Neurorehabilitation Research Centre (CNRC) is applying for a candidate available from the 1st of September 2023 or as soon as possible hereafter and is fixed for a 3-year term.
About the project
The INSPIRE trial investigates the ability to perform physically strenuous exercises after a moderate to severe traumatic brain injury. The exercise algorithm has been developed by the researchers in charge of the project and the departments clinical staff. The primary aim of the trial is to investigate the feasibility of the intervention and as part of this, document at what intensity and dose patients can perform the exercises. The trial is conducted as a multicentre trial in Denmark in close collaboration with Melbourne, Australia.
Besides measuring the feasibility of the intervention, the study investigates functional improvements, fatigue, cognitive behaviour, and cardiovascular and metabolic health. The project is a clinical randomised trial investigating the effect of intensive exercise after brain injury. The candidate’s primary task is to prepare the trial for expected inclusion of the first patient in 2024, supervise the trial and conduct further systematic reviews in collaboration with the team, and support of other members of the trial team. Furthermore, an important aspect of this position will be to apply for further project funding in close collaboration with supervisors and the other team members.
Background
Animal and neurophysiological studies in healthy have clearly indicated the importance of intensity and repetitions when seeking to improve functional capacity and movement. Intensity in physical rehabilitation after traumatic brain injury is more sparsely investigated. The benefit of increasing the intensity of large movement exercises may also contribute to improved health, quality of life and reduced fatigue within this patient group. In the INSPIRE project we aim to investigate the possibilities of increasing intensity and the benefits and harms of such an increase.
The clinical trial (INSPIRE)
Patients with severe traumatic brain injury are often severely deconditioned besides from suffering neurological deficits.
The trial is a randomised clinical feasibility trial with the aim of including 38 patients in the two centres including a 6-month follow-up. The project is an interdisciplinary multicentre trial as project members have a background in medicine, public health, and physical therapy.
The EMPIRE and SWAY studies
When conducting clinical trials, it is important to investigate the control intervention (standard care) given. For this project we are planning two systematic reviews investigating the control intervention and the intervention given in the trial.
About the Bodil Eskesen Centre (BEC)
In the beginning of June 2023, the Department of Brain and Spinal Cord Injury will move to the newly build Bodil Eskesen Centre in Glostrup. Over the next years we will expand our departments to be the largest rehabilitation department in eastern Denmark. In the centre we aim to provide rehabilitation for patients with traumatic brain injury, stroke, anoxic brain injury or spinal cord injury.
As a research assistant in BEC you will be part of an innovative team conducting research on an international level. The research department currently holds a physician (head of research), two postdocs, two PhD students, and a new professor will join by September 2023.
About the candidate
We are looking for a dedicated and motivated candidate with good collaborating skills. Basic training as a physical therapist, and clinical experience with neurorehabilitation and principals of motor learning is an advantage but not mandatory. With a background within health and medical sciences (physical therapists, physician, public health etc.) and a master’s degree within the health sciences to join our start-up of the INSPIRE study. The candidate will be employed at the Bodil Eskesen Centre (BEC) in a project collaborating with the Hammel Neurocentre (DK), The Alfred Hospital, Melbourne (AUS) and the Copenhagen Trial Unit, Rigshospitalet (DK).
Through this position, the successful candidate will gain considerable experience within, among other things, project management, interdisciplinary collaboration, testing of physical and cognitive functions, advanced data analysis methods, conducting systematic reviews as well as presentation and publication of scientific results.
Salary and terms of employment
Employment per September 2023 or as soon as possible thereafter. Salary is in accordance with the applicable collective agreements for the respective field. The position is fully funded by the Danish Victims Fund.
Application form and deadline
The department wants to reflect the diversity in society, and we encourage all qualified candidates to apply regardless of personal background. Send your application via the link below no later than 05-06-2023 at 12:00. Interviews will take place 13-06-2023. The application (in English) must contain a covering letter including motivational text, a CV and exam papers (transcripts/candidates' certificates) and may also contain a list of publications and relevant recommendations.
Additional information
If you have specific questions about the project, you can contact the head of the INSPIRE project Christian Gunge Riberholt (email: [email protected]) and leave your phone number.
