Despite decades of effort to reduce these rates, they continue to rise, particularly in young women and especially amongst M\u0101ori and Pacific. With current &#8220;one-size-fits-all&#8221; interventions proving ineffective, attention has turned to more individualised approaches. However ethnic- and gender-specific strategies are lacking owing to an absence of unifying explanation for the disparity in obesity prevalence. This project aims to decipher the physiological basis of these health inequalities; combining state-of-the-art techniques of energy balance (including indirect calorimetry) and body composition phenotyping.<br \/>\nThis project would suit someone with a biomedical or integrative physiology background. However, enthusiastic and self-motivated candidates from other backgrounds with an interest in nutrition and metabolism are also welcome to apply. Laboratory experience in any of these areas would be advantageous.<\/p>\n<p>FULL APPLICATION IN ATTACHED FILE<\/p>\n<div class=\"ap-custom-wrapper\"><div class=\"ap-each-custom\"><div class=\"ap-custom-label\">Auteur du message<\/div><!--ap-custom-label--><div class=\"ap-custom-value\">Jennifer L Miles-Chan<\/div><!--ap-custom-value--><\/div><!--ap-each-custom--><div class=\"ap-each-custom\"><div class=\"ap-custom-label\">E-mail<\/div><!--ap-custom-label--><div class=\"ap-custom-value\">j.miles-chan@auckland.ac.nz<\/div><!--ap-custom-value--><\/div><!--ap-each-custom--><div class=\"ap-each-custom\"><div class=\"ap-custom-label\">Discipline scientifique<\/div><!--ap-custom-label--><div class=\"ap-custom-value\">Physiology<\/div><!--ap-custom-value--><\/div><!--ap-each-custom--><div class=\"ap-each-custom\"><div class=\"ap-custom-label\">Lieu et institution de rattachement<\/div><!--ap-custom-label--><div class=\"ap-custom-value\">University of Auckland<\/div><!--ap-custom-value--><\/div><!--ap-each-custom--><div class=\"ap-each-custom\"><div class=\"ap-custom-label\">Pi\u00e8ce jointe<\/div><!--ap-custom-label--><div class=\"ap-custom-value\"><div class=\"ap-each-file\"><div class=\"docwrapper\" style=\"min-height:320px\"><object style=\"width:500px;min-height:500px;height:100\" type=\"application\/pdf\" trusted=\"yes\" application=\"yes\" data=\"https:\/\/www.acaps.asso.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/26.pdf?#zoom=100&scrollbar=1&toolbar=1&navpanes=1&statusbar=1&pagemode=bookmarks\"><\/object><\/div><\/div><\/div><!--ap-custom-value--><\/div><!--ap-each-custom--><\/div><!--ap-custom-wrapper-->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PhD Project: Deciphering gender and ethnic disparity in obesity and cardiometabolic disease.
