Phd Candidate for Stress Detection Among Employees

3 weken geleden

Groningen, Nederland De Hanze Voltijd

**About the Research**

**Why DESTRESS?**
Stress poses a significant threat to the health of employees as well as the health of the organizations they work for. The resilience of employees and organizations is interconnected; an organization can only be resilient if its employees are. The key question is whether we can identify and address rising stress levels and decreasing resilience effectively and in a timely manner.

Current methods for managing stress in employees and organizations are often ineffective as stress is often noticed too late, and there is usually limited shared problem ownership between employee, employer, and occupational healthcare provider. Additionally, the sources of stress -whether from personal life, work, or both
- are often not identified early enough.

**Project aims**
Destress aims to solve these issues with a consistent approach that integrates the perspectives of the employee, employer and occupational healthcare professional. The project focuses on the detection of stress at an early stage and uses artificial intelligence to identify early stress signals from individuals and their environment in a safe and responsible manner in order to facilitate a collaborative dialogue between employee, employer, and occupational healthcare professional.

In order to reach this aim, the project will investigate how and to what extent the mental health of employees can be measured and predicted using consumer wearables and digital diary methods (EMA/ESM). Advanced data analysis techniques (e.g., machine learning) will be used to develop algorithms that contribute to the creation of a model for "dynamic stress profiles."

The research is grounded in psychology and health sciences but strongly intersects with data science, artificial intelligence, physiology, and health technology.

**What you will do**
- Setting up large-scale data collection among employees.
- Analyzing data using tools such as Python or R.
- Publishing scientific articles and completing your dissertation.
- Collaborating with students, researchers, and professionals.
- Contributing to teaching activities.

You will work partly in Groningen, while data collection will take place nationwide.

**Where you will work**
You will work within the research group "Digital Transformation," which is part of the Marian van Os Centre of Expertise in Entrepreneurship of the Hanze University of Applied Scienced in Groningen (HUAS). The project aligns with HUAS’ mission to contribute to a healthy and active society and to the digital transformation.

This project involves close collaboration with the Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition, and Behavior and the Radboud University Medical Center in Nijmegen (Prof. Dr. Erno Hermans). The Donders Institute provides an inspiring research environment with a renowned graduate school and expert courses. Research on stress and mental health is a key focus area of Radboudumc. Additionally, you will collaborate with the Human Performance Department of TNO (Dr. Koen Hogenelst).

**What we ask of you**
We are looking for an enthusiastic and analytical researcher who works independently, excels in communication (in both Dutch and English), and easily builds a network in a multidisciplinary environment. You have a passion for teaching, preferably in higher education, and are willing to work at least half of the time in Groningen. Furthermore, we require:

- A master’s degree in relevant fields such as psychology, AI, data science, or health sciences (a research master is a plus).
- Experience with quantitative research and analyzing datasets using Python or R.
- Affinity with topics such as quantified self and health monitoring data.

**This is what you get in return**
A challenging position within an enthusiastic and collegial network of partners of the DESTRESS network. To support your development as a researcher, you will be guided by an experienced team of supervisors, affiliated at the Hanze University of Applied Sciences, Radboudumc and TNO. You will follow a personalized PhD training program (30 ECTS) within the graduate school of Radboudumc. What else do we offer?
- An appointment for 1.0 FTE. Starting date is 1 May 2025.
- A one-year contract with the possibility of extension up to 4 years.
- Scale 10 (min. € 3.246;
- en max. € 5.170,-), in accordance with CAO-HBO. A gross monthly salary for a full-time appointment.
- A holiday allowance of 8% and a structural end-of-year bonus of 8.3%.
- A maximum of 53 days off and, in addition, you can make use of sustainable employability hours and home working facilities.
- The opportunity to continuously professionalise yourself through our Hanze PL Academy.

**Curious to know more?**

**Will you become our new colleague?**
- Closing date is**:05/02/2025.**:

- Interviews will be on**: Wednesday afternoon, 12 February 2025.**:
