PhD position in Bayesian Evaluation of Single Case Experimental Designs
2 maanden geleden
Are you interested in the methods and statistics used for therapy effect evaluation? This PhD position may be for you.
The NWO-funded project “Accelerating the development of effective psychological treatments for traumatised refugees using Bayesian methodology” is looking for a PhD candidate focused on Bayesian evaluation of single case experimental designs.
Your jobIn single case experimental designs (SCEDs), as applied in therapy effect evaluation, 10-15 measurements of 2-4 outcome variables are typically taken over time. Despite the relative small amount of data, a powerful evaluation can be obtained if (i) the therapy effect on all the outcome variables is evaluated simultaneously, and (ii) the direction of the therapy effect on the outcome variables is specified. Therefore, a Bayesian approach for the evaluation of SCEDs will be developed in this PhD project.
To achieve this, Utrecht University and ARQ are collaborating in a new NWO-funded project “Accelerating the development of effective psychological treatments for traumatised refugees using Bayesian methodology”. This project is focused on further developing interventions for traumatised refugees and evaluating these in small-scale studies.
The project encompasses two PhD projects: one focused on Bayesian evaluation of single case experimental designs (that is, the methodology that will be used for therapy effect evaluation) and the other focused on treatment development and evaluation. The current vacancy applies to Bayesian evaluation of SCEDs.
As a PhD candidate in this project, your responsibilities will include:
- developing, evaluating and applying Bayesian evaluation of single case experimental designs (to real data resulting from ARQ Centrum'45);
- developing open-access software in R so that therapists and clinical psychologists can use the statistical tools that will be developed;
- writing up findings for publication;
- presenting research findings at conferences and workshops;
- being an active member of the PhD network IOPS (attending courses, giving presentations);
- attending classes and seminars (including those offered at other universities) to further develop your statistical and research skills;
- conducting teaching (10% of the appointment), including undergraduate tutorials.
This position may be the right fit for you, if you:
- hold (or nearly hold) a Master’s degree in Methodology and Statistics, data science, Econometrics, Psychometrics or a related field;
- have programming skills in R;
- have adequate verbal and written communication skills in English;
- are interested in working in an interdisciplinary team consisting of clinical psychologists, therapists, programmers, and statisticians;
- are interested in the problems of, and mental health care for traumatised vulnerable groups
We offer:
- a position for four years (a working week of 38 hours) or five years (a working week of 30.4 hours) with a trial period of one year;
- a full-time gross monthly salary between €2,872 in the first year and €3,670 in the fourth year (salary scale P under the Collective Labour Agreement for Dutch Universities (CAO NU));
- 8% holiday pay and 8.3% year-end bonus;
- a pension scheme, partially paid parental leave and flexible terms of employment based on the CAO NU.
In addition to the terms of employment laid down in the CAO NU, Utrecht University has a number of schemes and facilities of its own for employees. This includes schemes facilitating professional development, leave schemes and schemes for sports and cultural activities, as well as discounts on software and other IT products. We also offer access to additional employee benefits through our Terms of Employment Options Model. In this way, we encourage our employees to continue to invest in their growth. For more information, please visit Working at Utrecht University.
About usA better future for everyone. This ambition motivates our scientists in executing their leading research and inspiring teaching. At Utrecht University, the various disciplines collaborate intensively towards major strategic themes. Our focus is on Dynamics of Youth, Institutions for Open Societies, Life Sciences and Pathways to Sustainability. Sharing science, shaping tomorrow.
The Faculty of Social and Behavioural Sciences is one of the leading faculties in Europe providing research and academic teaching in cultural anthropology, educational sciences, interdisciplinary social science, pedagogical sciences, psychology, and sociology. Almost 7,000 students are enrolled in a broad range of undergraduate and graduate programmes. The Faculty of Social and Behavioural Sciences has some 1,100 faculty and staff members, all providing their individual contribution to the training and education of young talent and to the research into and finding solutions for scientific and societal issues. The PhD candidate employed for this vacancy will be based at the Department of Methodology and Statistics.
The faculty strives for diversity among its employees and students and is committed to creating a safe and inclusive environment for everyone, as can be read in Utrecht University's Equality, Diversity and Inclusion policy.
The faculty attaches great importance to the fact that its employees can be widely deployed in the university organisation, now and in the future, to further professionalise the support of education and research. To encourage this, every employee is given the time and facilities – for example in the form of training – at some point in their career to participate in projects or work in other departments. Characteristics that the faculty considers important are involvement, the ability to collaborate and flexibility.
The faculty is located at Utrecht Science Park near the historical city centre of Utrecht.
