Using additional datasets from abroad and visiting a foreign research group are also possibilities.

You work on:

  • Preparing and conducting advanced statistical analyses on longitudinal data;
  • Publishing analyses in international and national (scientific) journals and presenting them to relevant stakeholders, and presenting them at national and international conferences;
  • Translating and communicating results into recommendations for practice, such as mental health care and geriatricians.

    You actively participate in research groups within and outside the department, including the Aging & Longitudinal Modelling section, Amsterdam Public Health institute, and the academic workplace for geriatric psychiatry, which is a collaboration between the psychiatry department of Amsterdam UMC and the mental health care institution GGZ inGeest. The PhD track offers plenty of opportunities to take courses in areas such as epidemiology and statistics.
    About you

    • You have demonstrable strong quantitative analysis skills in SPSS or Stata, and preferably also in R, or are willing to learn R;
    • You preferably have knowledge of longitudinal data analysis methods;
    • You have good communication skills, both written and oral, in English;

      • Take courses to develop crucial research skills in areas such as epidemiology and statistics;
      • Access to a large interdisciplinary network including researchers and healthcare professionals;

        Jointly, these elements will provide you with a solid basis for your further (academic) career.

        The position entails:

        • A contract for one year for 36 hours/week, to be extended with three years, after a successful evaluation in the first year. A contract for 32 hours/week is negotiable.
