About this position
PhD opportunity in implementation science at Aalborg University within the Faculty of Medicine, Department of Clinical Medicine.
This three-year PhD stipend is linked to the Center for Implementation Science in Healthcare (CISH), a newly established research center within the National Center for Health Services Research. The project sits inside the doctoral program Health care, Health Promotion and Organizations and is part of a broader research environment focused on implementation science, health services research, organisational change, and healthcare system transformation.
The PhD project addresses the Danish Healthcare Reform, one of the most far-reaching changes to the Danish healthcare system in decades. The research will examine how national reform ambitions are translated into organisational change and everyday healthcare practice, with attention to implementation processes, strategies, and outcomes across different healthcare settings.
The project is explicitly grounded in implementation science theories, models, and frameworks. It will explore contextual factors, barriers and facilitators, organisational adaptation, and the mechanisms that shape successful implementation and sustainability. The work may draw on both quantitative and qualitative approaches, including surveys, analyses of implementation processes and outcomes, interviews, observations, and document analysis, depending on the exact research questions and project focus.
The PhD student will contribute to research question development, study design, data collection, analysis, scientific publications, and dissemination to researchers, healthcare professionals, and decision-makers. The position is embedded in an interdisciplinary and internationally oriented research setting with opportunities to collaborate with researchers and stakeholders across the Danish healthcare system.
CISH is led by Professor Per Nilsen and brings together expertise in implementation science and health services research. The center is described as collaborative and ambitious, with strong national and international partnerships and opportunities for methodological development and engagement with leading international researchers.
Aalborg University’s Department of Clinical Medicine provides the wider academic home for the position and offers research-based teaching and clinical research across medical specialties.

Three-year, full-time PhD stipend (37 hours per week); salary and terms follow the AC collective agreement.

Candidates should have an interest in organisational change, healthcare systems, and translating policy and research into practice, and be able to work independently and collaboratively in an interdisciplinary environment. Excellent written and oral English communication skills are required.
