About this position

This PhD project at Amsterdam UMC focuses on improving glucose regulation for women with type 1 diabetes during the menopausal transition. The research is part of the DAME-APersonal project and brings together clinical research, data analysis, and technology development to create a more personalized approach to diabetes care for this group.

You will investigate how menopause-related factors, such as hot flushes and changes in heart rate, affect glucose levels in women with and without diabetes. The goal is to generate insights that can improve a personalized glucose-regulation algorithm for the artificial pancreas being developed by Inreda Diabetic. The project aims to support the development of the first automated insulin delivery system specifically designed for women around and after menopause.

The position combines literature review, analysis of existing clinical data, and two clinical studies. You will collect and analyse glucose sensor data and use TNO’s digital biomarker platform to explore wearable data. These data will be used to assess which factors may improve the algorithm, followed by a small-scale clinical study to test the optimized version in the target population.

You will work within the endocrinology research group at Amsterdam UMC and collaborate closely with partners in the consortium: TNO, Inreda Diabetic, and AIKON Health. Supervision is provided by internist-endocrinologist Sarah Siegelaar at Amsterdam UMC, together with a senior researcher from TNO. The environment combines clinical and fundamental research and offers room for scientific development and independent idea generation.

The project is intended to lead to a doctorate within four years.

Funding details

Funded by a Health Holland grant; budget available for four years of full-time research.

What's required

Applicants should have a relevant background, for example in technical medicine, medical informatics, as a medical doctor with ambitions to pursue a PhD, or another relevant degree. Interest in medicine, technology, data analysis, diabetes, and menopause is required. Candidates should be comfortable analysing complex datasets, communicate well, take initiative, work collaboratively, and be precise. Fluency in Dutch and English, spoken and written, is required. Experience with scientific research is preferred but not mandatory.
