This postdoctoral project focuses on human-centered interpretable machine learning , with an emphasis on learning from background knowledge and expert feedback . The work addresses a central challenge in high-stakes domains such as health care: many models may fit the same data almost equally well, but only some are understandable, plausible, or genuinely useful to domain experts. You will work on developing models that are interpretable by construction , including probabilistic rule sets, subgr...

About this position

This PhD project at Amsterdam UMC focuses on the relationship between the heart and hemodynamics in surgical and critically ill patients. Using transthoracic echocardiography together with continuous hemodynamic blood pressure measurements, the doctoral researcher will help answer clinical questions in anesthesiology and intensive care medicine.

The position is embedded in the DYNAMO research group within the Adult Intensive Care and Anesthesiology departments at Amsterdam UMC. The group works in a multidisciplinary setting that brings together expertise from internal medicine, anesthesiology, intensive care, cardiology, physiology, artificial intelligence, and transfusion medicine. The department is described as internationally leading and involved in many collaborations with universities, research institutes, and industry.

The PhD candidate will perform echocardiographic measurements, ensure high-quality imaging and data collection, and analyze the resulting echo data. The work spans several clinical studies, including a central project examining whether abnormalities in heart valves and the aorta can be detected from the shape of the arterial blood pressure waveform, with echocardiography serving as the reference standard. Another study looks at differences in cardiac contractility before and after red blood cell transfusion in intensive care patients.

The researcher will include patients on wards, in the operating room, and in the intensive care unit at Amsterdam UMC. In addition to measurements, the student will develop new research questions, set up substudies, and contribute to algorithm development for waveform detection alongside another PhD candidate with a technical medicine background. The project also includes scientific publications, presentations at national and international conferences, and education through the Amsterdam UMC Doctoral School.

Training and supervision are built into the project, so candidates with limited experience in cardiac ultrasound can be coached until they can independently perform research echocardiography according to protocol.

Funding details

Paid PhD position with a contract for 12 months initially, intended to extend to a total of 3 years; salary scale 10 (€3,724–€5,867 gross per month) for medicine master's holders or OIO scale (€3,217–€4,077 gross per month) for other master’s holders, plus 8.3% year-end bonus, vacation allowance, travel reimbursement, and pension contributions.

What's required

Applicants should be (nearly) graduated medical doctors or echocardiographers/echo technicians with a completed relevant research master's degree. They should have experience making cardiac echocardiograms (TTE), or at least demonstrable basic knowledge of ultrasound and willingness to receive further training. Interest in cardiology, anesthesiology, intensive care medicine, and hemodynamics is required, along with affinity for clinical research and working with large clinical datasets. Good command of Dutch is required because of patient contact, and good spoken and written English is also required. Candidates should be accurate, protocol-driven, analytical, able to work well with patients and multidisciplinary teams, and show initiative, perseverance, and responsibility.
