The PhD position has four main aims:

  • Describe health trajectories before death and uncover the presence of a socioeconomic gradient;
  • Examine the causal link between education and health trajectories before death using a quasi-natural experiment;
  • Analyze the role of partnership during the life course and examine whether the socioeconomic resources of the partner play a role in the health development preceding death using a couple-level perspective;
  • Study the role of adult children's characteristics (both in terms of SES and family structure) for the parental trajectories of health in the last years of life.

The successful candidate will have a strong background in epidemiology, sociology, demography, or health economics, and experience with quantitative research methods. Excellent speaking and writing skills in English are required, and proficiency in Dutch is an asset.
