About this position

This postdoc sits within GOV4CARE, an international European consortium led by Amsterdam UMC that examines how health systems can become more ecologically sustainable and climate-resilient. The position is based in the Health Systems and Services Research group in the Department of Public and Occupational Health, where researchers study how health systems perform in terms of quality, accessibility, equity, efficiency, ecological sustainability, and resilience.

The project places the postdoc at the intersection of governance, implementation research, and health systems comparison. A major strand of the work focuses on how mitigation strategies are introduced and scaled up in healthcare, with particular attention to sustainable procurement and the use of CO₂ criteria and life cycle assessment in public purchasing. The role also contributes to comparative analyses of European health systems, exploring how policy, financing, organisation, and institutional characteristics shape system performance and what countries can learn from one another.

The postdoc will work closely with international project partners who assess environmental, health, economic, and systems effects of mitigation strategies, and who contribute to future-oriented scenario modelling for sustainable healthcare transitions. The advertised work is embedded in a multidisciplinary and internationally oriented research environment, with collaboration across universities, research institutes, healthcare organisations, and international organisations. Amsterdam UMC also links the project to its Centre for Sustainable Care, creating a connection between comparative research and practice-oriented sustainability work in healthcare.

The role offers substantial scientific responsibility: developing and carrying out comparative case studies, analysing governance and implementation processes, contributing to cross-country studies, producing publications, and helping translate findings into actionable insights for policymakers and healthcare leaders. The position also includes collaboration on teaching and student supervision within the department, and may involve scientific supervision of PhD candidates depending on experience.

Overall, this is a research-intensive postdoc for someone interested in how governance and implementation shape sustainable transitions in healthcare systems across Europe.

Funding details

Funded EU Horizon Europe project; salary scale 10 with gross monthly salary of €3,724 to €5,867 for a full-time appointment, plus 8.3% year-end bonus. Initial 12-month contract with intent to extend up to 48 additional months, subject to available funding.

What's required

Applicants must have a PhD, or be in the final phase of a PhD trajectory, with expertise developed during doctoral research in governance, organisational change, implementation research, health systems, ecological sustainability, or a closely related field. Experience with implementation science frameworks and models such as CFIR, ERIC, or COM-B is preferred, as is experience with qualitative methods such as document analysis, policy process analysis, and stakeholder interviews. Candidates should have strong qualitative and/or quantitative research skills, preferably including mixed-methods research, and be able to translate complex research questions into feasible study designs. Excellent English and good Dutch are required, both spoken and written, and Dutch proficiency must be at least B2 level. Applicants should be analytically strong, independent, proactive, and collaborative, and willing to contribute to teaching activities. Experience with internationally comparative research, evaluation of complex interventions, sustainable procurement, or supervision of junior researchers is an advantage.
