About this position

At Radboudumc, this PhD project is part of the national REGAIN study on clitoral reconstruction after vulvar cancer. The project sits at the intersection of gynaecological oncology, plastic surgery, sexual health, and patient-centred care, with close collaboration between the departments of Gynaecological Oncology and Plastic Surgery.

The doctoral researcher will play a central role in coordinating and delivering a multicentre, prospective stepped-wedge study across all nine Dutch centres for gynaecological oncology. The study evaluates a new clitoral reconstruction technique developed at Radboudumc and aims to generate the first large international dataset on this intervention after vulvar cancer.

The work combines clinical research, implementation, and qualitative inquiry. The PhD candidate will support patient screening, inclusion, and follow-up; analyse clinical and patient-reported outcomes; conduct qualitative interviews with patients and healthcare professionals; contribute to the development and implementation of a patient decision aid; and help map the implementation of clitoral reconstruction across participating centres.

The primary outcome focuses on sexual function, and the broader research programme also examines clitoral sensitivity, quality of life, body image, surgical and oncological outcomes, and the experience of shared decision-making in this setting. The project is embedded in a collaborative national network and offers a strong environment for translational, interdisciplinary research.

Funding details

Fully funded four-year PhD trajectory funded by KWF; salary indication €3724–€5867 per month.
