The project brings together experts in AI, epidemiology, health economics, molecular diagnostics, implementation sciences and public health. It is structured around six scientific work packages and three real-world use cases (UCs), with continuous input from hospitals, government agencies and healthcare organizations.
**Scope of the PhD project**:
Data Collection, Scenario Analysis, implementation sciences with the goal not only to develop tools and models but also to investigate how they can be translated in a real-world context.
- Master’s degree in biomedical sciences, public health, biostatistics, epidemiology, medical sociology, or related field.
- A strong interest in infectious disease modeling and interdisciplinary implementation research.
- Experience with data analysis (e.g., R, Python) and/or clinical data management is a plus.
- Experience with qualitative research is an asset.
- Excellent communication skills in English; knowledge of Dutch is an asset for working in a clinical setting.
- A collaborative mindset and the ability to work independently on societally relevant research.
**What We Offer**:
- A fully funded 4-year PhD position within a dynamic and interdisciplinary research consortium.
- Access to rich clinical datasets, cutting-edge modeling tools, and real-world hospital infrastructure.
- Opportunities for international collaboration, training and academic dissemination.
- A vibrant academic environment at the interface of healthcare, science and society.
