About this position
This PhD position sits within GOV4CARE, a five-year European research project coordinated by the Health Systems and Services Research group at Amsterdam UMC in collaboration with the Centre for Sustainable Healthcare. The project focuses on how European healthcare systems can improve their ecological sustainability and climate resilience, and how these goals can be embedded in policy, governance, organization, and everyday care practice.
The doctoral research is internationally comparative and examines why healthcare systems differ in their environmental performance and preparedness for climate-related disruption. The project spans 31 European countries and combines analysis of national strategies, policy instruments, indicators, datasets, and comparative case studies. It also investigates how system performance relates to wider contextual factors and how sustainability and climate resilience intersect with other core aims of healthcare systems, including quality, accessibility, equity, and efficiency.
You will work in a multidisciplinary and internationally oriented team at Amsterdam UMC, within the Department of Public and Occupational Health. The research group studies how health systems can function better, with attention to quality, accessibility, equity, efficiency, ecological sustainability, and climate resilience. The group collaborates closely with policymakers, healthcare organizations, and international partners, including the World Health Organization.
The project offers the opportunity to contribute to a European consortium with more than 25 partners, to publish a PhD thesis based on peer-reviewed articles, and to present findings at national and international meetings. The student will also help translate research insights into recommendations for policy, organization, and healthcare practice, and will contribute to teaching within the department.
The supervision team consists of Dionne Kringos, Oscar Brito Fernandes, and Niek Sperna Weiland.
