Job description

The number of older people is rising rapidly; in the Netherlands, it is expected to increase more among immigrants than among natives. Poor health, chronic diseases, and functional limitations are much more prevalent among these immigrant populations than among natives. Sociocultural differences make it especially difficult for healthcare organisations to reach older immigrants effectively. Immigrant-sensitive healthcare interventions are needed, requiring insight into underlying sociocultural mechanisms explaining differences in health and health behaviour between older natives and immigrants. To improve (preventive) healthcare delivery quality and effectiveness for older immigrants, and to deliver care tailored to their needs, research on the sociocultural mechanisms leading to their poorer health and health behaviours is needed. Therefore, Prof.dr Anna Nieboer, Dr. Jane Cramm and Dr. Marleen Foets from the Socio-Medical Sciences (SMW) group within the institute of Health Policy and Management (iBMG) study the interplay between the influences of perceptions of ageing and the social environment on health and health behaviours among older Dutch natives and immigrants.
In 2014 pilot studies (focus groups and quantitative research) will be conducted among older natives, Turks, Surinamese, and Moroccans in the Netherlands. Using the national population register, a sample of Dutch, Turks, Surinamese, Moroccans independently living older adults (age > 70 years) residing in Rotterdam, Amsterdam, and The Hague will be identified for inclusion in our study. These people will be surveyed in 2015 and 2016.
For this study, we are searching for a PhD student. As a PhD student you contribute to literature review, gathering and analysing data. In addition, you will be involved in teaching activities within the bachelor Health, Policy & Management and in the master Health Care Management.

Requirements

The successful applicant for this position is expected to have a master’s degree in a relevant field, such as Health Sciences or other humanities like sociology. Furthermore, he or she should have good writing skills in Dutch and English and a strong motivation for doing scholarly research in the field of health care. We prefer candidates with great skills and hands-on experience with doing empirical research, quantitative research methods and data analysis. A firm grasp of Dutch is required.

Conditions of employment

A PhD student will initially receive a temporary contract for 1.5 years in order to assess his compatibility. When you prove to be an asset, you will receive a second temporary contract for 2.5 years. Remuneration will be in accordance with the PhD scale set by the CAO NU. Fulltime work will pay € 2.042.- before taxes in the first year, going up to € 2.612.- in the fourth and final year. In addition, there’s a set end-of-year bonus of 8.3% and there are generous opportunities for taking time off. Fulltime is considered to be 38 hours per week.

Job description

Approximately 50% of cancer patients is treated with radiotherapy. Success of a radiation treatment is largely determined by the quality of the delivered dose distribution. Doses should be very high in the tumor and as low as possible in surrounding healthy tissues, especially in vital radiation sensitive organs. Development of algorithms and procedures for design of individualized irradiation strategies (treatment plans) is a key research line of the department. Optimization of the patient’s dose distribution is a complex, non-convex and discrete mathematical problem with multiple objectives and constraints, and a patient anatomy that may change during the fractionated therapy. Not only the quality of the final dose distribution is important, but also optimization time, speed of daily dose delivery and required human interaction and workload. The selected candidate will participate in these investigations.

Requirements

  • PhD in operations research, numerical mathematics, or other relevant field;
  • Excellent programming skills (Python, C++, Matlab) for prototyping;
  • Ambitious and eager to take initiative;
  • Creative and excellent analytical skills;
  • Ability to work in a multi-disciplinary team.

Job description

Project description:
This PhD position is part of the ERC-project ‘Monitoring modernity: a comparative analysis of practices of social imagination in the monitoring of global flows of goods, capital and persons’ (MONITORING). The project aims to study institutions specialized in visualizing society. It connects more encompassing ‘modern social imaginaries’ with ‘social imagination’, i.e., the everyday work of the production of images of climate, the economy, capital flows and migrant mobilities.
This PhD project focuses on the formation of the national imaginary in relation to immigration. This involves analyses of institutionalized forms of measuring belonging to national societies. Such measurements pertain mostly to the integration of immigrants, where socio-economic or cultural indicators are used to assess the degree to which immigrants ‘participate in society’. The project analyzes such measurements as ways of producing images of belonging that feed into and are further shaped by policy and public debate. They can be treated as specialized ways of securing collective memory and of visualizing society. This project analyzes a selection of population registries and censuses, and focuses on the specific institutions (statistical agencies, research projects) that visualize the position of immigrants in various EU-countries. Also, independent social scientific studies (e.g., conducted at universities) will be analyzed with the help of (amongst others) STS approaches and approaches from Visual studies. Multi-sited ethnography and (where possible) descriptive statistical methods will be used.
The PhD candidate will do fieldwork in various EU countries for periods of some weeks each. The PhD candidate will be based at Erasmus University Rotterdam.
The PhD candidate will contribute by:
1) conducting ethnographic research and discourse analysis and, where possible, combining this with correspondence analysis and/or (conceptual) network analysis
2) actively participating in the research team of the MONITORING project, including participation in a regular research and reading seminar and active and critical involvement in the other subprojects
3) participating in the Sociology research community, both at Erasmus University and internationally, through publishing and presenting research results in the form of articles in international peer reviewed journals, papers at international conferences and books at international academic publishers
4) participating in teaching (social theory and philosophy of science) and the supervision of MA-thesis students on this research project
Intensive training will, amongst others, be provided by the project leader, Dr. W. Schinkel, and by participation in the project’s research and reading seminar.

Requirements

Applicants should have completed a Master’s degree in Sociology, Science studies, Visual studies or another related discipline. The applicant should have very good apprehension of English; apprehension of other languages is an advantage. Experience with doing both ethnographic research and descriptive statistical research is regarded as an advantage as well. An academic attitude of critical curiosity is a prerequisite. An engagement with the public relevance of social scientific research is much welcomed as well.

Conditions of employment

The starting date for the position is 1 September 2012. The initial contract will be running for a term of 1,5 years, which – depending on performance, including a literature review – will be extended with a second term of 2,5 years. The conditions of employment correspond with the CAO Nederlandse Universiteiten (CAO NU). The Erasmus University offers a salary of € 2.042,- gross per month in the first year up to a maximum of € 2.612,- gross per month in the final year in accordance with the Promovendus scale of CAO NU. Salary is based on a fulltime occupation. Objective of the temporary 4-year position is the production of a thesis leading to a PhD degree. Candidates are to submit yearly progress report to the faculty’s standing committee for research.
The EUR has attractive employment conditions, which include a holiday allowance of 8.0%, an end-of-year bonus of 8.3% and 41 annual vacation days in case of a full workweek.
Working at the Erasmus University Rotterdam means working in a professional environment, where development is encouraged through an active career and mobility policy. The Erasmus University Rotterdam highly appreciates flexibility: we have a 38-hour workweek, flexible working hours, possibilities to work part-time and maternal/paternal leave.
