About this position
This PhD opening combines clinical work with a doctoral research project at NOK Clinics and NUTRIM, Maastricht University. The project sits within the research group Physiology of Human Nutrition (PHuN) and is focused on an emerging area in obesity care: how treatment with GLP-1 agonists affects nutritional intake, eating behaviour, and vitamin status in people with overweight or obesity.
The successful candidate will work on a new research line exploring how dietary intake, food preferences, and eating patterns change during medication-based treatment. The project also investigates how often nutritional and vitamin deficiencies occur in this patient group and what preventive approach may be most effective. The research spans methods ranging from cross-sectional questionnaire studies to nutrikinetic investigations, offering a broad and clinically relevant research experience.
Alongside the research component, the position includes clinical work with patients treated with both surgery and medication, with responsibility for medical follow-up and consultations together with a coach. The post is embedded in an active research environment with multiple PhD candidates and support from the research coordinator, while also linking the clinical setting of NOK Clinics with the academic environment of Maastricht University.
The advert highlights an internationally recognised PhD programme at NUTRIM, with strong supervision and training, and a setting that bridges fundamental science, clinical practice, and public health.
