About this position

PhD project on circular medicine use in long-term care. This position is part of the REMARK project, a consortium effort focused on making healthcare more sustainable by reducing medication waste and exploring how unused medicines can be safely and legally re-used. The PhD research is based at Tilburg University, within Tilburg School of Social and Behavioral Sciences and the Tranzo research centre, and is embedded in the academic workplace for future-proof healthcare.

The project examines the pharmaceutical chain in long-term care settings, including nursing homes and long-term psychiatric care. The doctoral candidate will study how medicines move from producer to pharmacy to patient, and where regulations, quality requirements, and financial arrangements shape whether circular practices are possible. The research combines legal, quality, and financial perspectives to identify the conditions under which medication reuse could be implemented responsibly.

The PhD consists of interconnected studies on the regulatory framework for medicine circulation at Dutch and European level, the safety and quality conditions for re-dispensing unused medicines, and the reimbursement and incentive structures that may either encourage or prevent waste. The project also includes translating these insights into practical solutions with healthcare institutions, pharmacies, and other chain partners, and testing those solutions in practice.

The student will work in a multidisciplinary consortium with researchers from Tilburg University, Eindhoven University of Technology, Erasmus University Rotterdam, and many practice partners. The role involves close collaboration with other REMARK PhD candidates, university researchers, and stakeholders in the healthcare chain, alongside dissemination through academic publications, conferences, and knowledge exchange with practice and policy audiences.

The position is located in Tilburg, with regular on-site work at partner organizations across the Netherlands.

Funding details

Full-time PhD appointment with a salary of €3,204–€4,051 per month; initially a 12-month contract, extended by 3 years upon good performance and continued funding.

What's required

Applicants must have an completed university master's degree in a relevant field such as health sciences, health law, pharmaceutical sciences, health policy and management, health economics, or a related discipline. Strong affinity with regulation, policy, supervision, and financing in healthcare is required, along with analytical ability, proactivity, independence, teamwork skills, strong organizational skills, and an entrepreneurial mindset. Preference is given to candidates with experience in qualitative research methods, document analysis, or juridical-empirical research, and knowledge of the pharmaceutical chain, medicines policy, or long-term care funding (such as Wlz and Zvw). Experience writing scientific or professional articles is a plus. Excellent Dutch and English writing and speaking skills are required; Dutch is essential for work with Dutch healthcare institutions and legislation.
