Overview of the Research Programme

InSilicoHealth is a pioneering Doctoral Network that aims to train a new generation of exceptional researchers who can effectively translate digital technology to address existing and future challenges related to healthy ageing in Europe. The research focus of this network lies in three key domains: the brain, heart, and musculoskeletal systems. In the realm of digital technology, InSilicoHealth specifically focuses on virtual human twin (VHT) technology to enhance our understanding of age-related adaptive changes in the complex human body through predictive multi-scale simulations.

Individual PhD Project Information

The PhD project focuses on integrating Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) principles into the development of in silico technologies, with an emphasis on ethical, legal, and societal issues (ELSI). The project aims to evaluate the complex interactions between stakeholders in the in silico health ecosystem and develop strategies to mitigate potential risks while accelerating the adoption of these technologies in real-world healthcare.

Key Responsibilities

  • Conduct ethnographic research to analyze how values and social considerations shape research decisions
  • Perform a systematic desk review of ELSI-related documents
  • Identify key stakeholders and gather insights to inform the development of a standardized research protocol
  • Map the evolution of in silico technologies for healthy aging and ensure that ethical reflection and public engagement are integrated into the research process

What We Offer

A challenging position in a socially engaged organisation. At VU Amsterdam, you contribute to education, research and service for a better world. And that is valuable. So in return for your efforts, we offer you:

  • A salary of minimum € 2.,- during the first year, increasing to € 3.,00 gross per month in the 4th and final year, on a full-time basis
