Do you have a background in the social sciences or empirical philosophy and have affinity with biomedical sciences or life sciences? We are looking for a PhD candidate to carry out a research project on enabling and constraining conditions for user participation, in particular among socioeconomic disadvantaged groups, in the design of digital self-monitoring for cardiovascular disease. This PhD project will employ qualitative empirical methods and philosophical analysis and is part of larger R&D consortium called Mydigitwin.
The Mydigitwin consortium consists of data scientists, medical imaging analysts, cardiologists, data science companies and patient groups. The aim is to develop a digital platform and an app in which citizens can directly compare their personal health data with big-data reference data, in order to inform them whether they are 'at risk' for cardiovascular diseases. The underlying idea is that these digital technologies contribute to self-management, preventative health behaviour and improved interaction with health care professionals.
Fixed-term contract: You will be employed for an initial period of 18 months, after which your performance will be evaluated. If the evaluation is positive, the contract will be extended by 2.5 years (4 year contract) or 3.5 years (5 year contract).
We want to get the best out of science, others and ourselves. Why? Because this is what the world around us desperately needs. Leading research and education make an indispensable contribution to a healthy, free world with equal opportunities for all. This is what unites the more than 24,000 students and 5,600 employees at Radboud University. And this requires even more talent, collaboration and lifelong learning. You have a part to play!
