About this position
This postdoc position at the University Medical Center Groningen sits within an interdisciplinary research environment focused on the implementation of digital care and the accessibility of healthcare technologies. The project addresses an important societal challenge: while digital tools are increasingly used to improve efficiency and quality in care, many people still struggle to use them, especially in communities with lower socioeconomic status and lower digital literacy.
The successful candidate will work on research projects with clear societal impact, contributing to a better understanding of how digital health innovations are implemented in practice and how they are experienced by different user groups. The role combines research and practice, with close interaction with healthcare staff, policymakers, patients, and social organizations. The work spans qualitative and quantitative approaches, including interviews, focus groups, questionnaire studies, and in some cases ethnographic research, bringing together methods from organisation studies, behavioural sciences, and medical sciences.
The position is embedded in GIDI: Groningen research experts in DigID health implementation, a young and enthusiastic interdisciplinary research group working on diverse projects around digital health implementation. These include work on virtual reality for stress reduction, participation in the Citrien 3 Digitaal Mee in de Zorg programme, and leadership of the NPG Proeftuin toegankelijke digitale zorg. The group is based in the department of primary care and long-term care, and the projects involve a wide range of stakeholders from regional organisations to hospitals and academic partners.
The research setting is strongly collaborative and practice-oriented, with opportunities to engage in publication writing, proposal development, and project coordination while contributing to digital care that is more inclusive for vulnerable populations.
