Job University Medical Center Utrecht (UMC Utrecht) - Ph.D. student m/f

You will be taking part in a research project to investigate which patients with severe hemophilia will develop inhibitors against clotting factor VIII. Our team has established that treatment patterns – particularly on initial administration of factor VIII – play a major role in the development of these inhibitors. In this project, the prediction model will be enlarged by including, among other things, the effect of operations, prophylaxis with FVIII and treatment in the neonatal period. This is a project with a strong epidemiological element and great clinical relevance.

You are a flexible researcher with good contact skills and a medical background. You will have demonstrable analytical skills, preferably in the field of epidemiology. A thorough command of English is essential.

We offer a temporary full-time appointment for 3 years on the salary scale for Ph.D. students.

You will be working at the Department of Clinical Epidemiology of the Julius Centre at the University Medical Center Utrecht. The Lab Centre is internationally celebrated for its excellent research in such fields as blood clotting and thrombocyte function.
