About this position
PhD opportunity in Process-Aware Information Systems for Circular Care Pathways at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e), Eindhoven, Netherlands.
Join the NWO KIC-funded REMARK project and investigate how process-aware information systems can support sustainable, safe, and compliant circular healthcare pathways. The research will use event data and healthcare process information to monitor care-pathway execution, detect deviations, assess compliance risks, and identify opportunities to reduce medication waste and improve transparency and resource use.
You will be part of the Information Systems group in the Department of Industrial Engineering & Innovation Sciences. The project involves collaboration with researchers, Dutch healthcare organizations, and industry partners, with opportunities for scientific and societal impact. Relevant research interests include information systems, healthcare process monitoring, process mining, compliance monitoring, sustainability, Design Science Research, and conceptual and process modelling using approaches such as BPMN, CMMN, DMN, and goal modelling.
Applicants should hold a master's degree in Information Systems or a related discipline, including Computer Science, Industrial Engineering, or Innovation Science. A research-oriented attitude, interest in healthcare and Design Science Research, interdisciplinary collaboration skills, publication ambition, and fluency in Dutch and English at C1 level are required. Experience with process modelling or data-driven process analysis is advantageous. The application requires a motivation letter, course lists with grades, a master's thesis and/or peer-reviewed articles, a CV with two references, and language-proficiency evidence.
This is a full-time, four-year paid PhD appointment, with salary of €3,204–€4,051 gross per month under Dutch university scale P, plus an 8% holiday allowance and 8.3% year-end bonus. Teaching will comprise at least 10% of the appointment and no more than 15% per year. The vacancy remains open until filled, with a stated application date of 27 November 2026.
