About this position

Call for applications for a PhD Candidate position at Radboud University Medical Center (Radboudumc) in the Netherlands.

The project, titled “Set Academic Education in Motion”, focuses on higher education research, educational innovation, student learning and well-being, and health promotion. The aim is to develop and evaluate physically activating teaching methods that encourage movement during lectures, tutorials, self-study sessions, and coaching activities.

The research will examine how movement-based education may improve student concentration, engagement and participation, motivation, well-being, and learning experiences. The role includes designing and testing teaching methods, conducting focus groups with students, lecturers, and programme managers, studying barriers and opportunities for implementation, and developing practical tools such as an interactive inspiration website, infographics, workshops, and professional development materials.

The project also contributes to scaling these approaches within Bachelor Biomedical Sciences, Medicine programmes, and other faculties and universities. The successful candidate will publish research articles and present findings at national and international conferences.

Eligibility highlights: strong research skills, interest in qualitative research and educational evaluation, ability to work collaboratively in an interdisciplinary team, excellent communication and writing skills, and motivation to create practical impact in academic education.

Funding: paid PhD employment for 4 years, with a salary of €3,217–€4,077 per month and 28 working hours per week (0.78 FTE).

Deadline: 28 August 2026.
