About this position
This postdoctoral project at Amsterdam UMC is part of the European GOV4CARE consortium and focuses on measuring and improving the ecological sustainability and climate resilience of European health systems.
You will work within the Health Systems and Services Research group in the Department of Public and Occupational Health at Amsterdam UMC, in close collaboration with the Amsterdam UMC Centre for Sustainable Care and international partners across the consortium. A key scientific partner is Yale University, which leads this work package.
The project aims to build an integrated international framework for assessing health system performance in relation to sustainability and climate resilience. You will help develop and operationalize two connected sets of indicators: one for national and, where relevant, subnational health systems, and one for healthcare organizations such as hospitals. The research uses comparative data from 31 European countries and selected care organizations to create scientifically robust, internationally comparable, and policy-relevant measures.
Your work will include reviewing and synthesizing existing international frameworks, selecting and defining indicators, preparing metadata and measurement protocols, validating data with the Strategic Co-Design Panel, and contributing to the harmonization and assessment of multi-country and organizational data. You will also help produce scientific papers, methodological reports, and other research outputs, while collaborating with policymakers, health organizations, and international research partners.
The team combines research on quality, accessibility, equity, efficiency, ecological sustainability, and climate resilience, and offers a multidisciplinary and internationally oriented environment for developing as an independent researcher.

What's required
Applicants should have a PhD or be in the final phase of a PhD trajectory and have expertise gained during doctoral research in health system performance measurement and evaluation, ecological sustainability, climate resilience in healthcare, or a closely related field. Experience with methodological research such as Health System Performance Assessment (HSPA), performance indicators, ecological sustainability, or climate resilience is required. Candidates should have experience developing or applying conceptual frameworks, indicators, and/or collecting and analysing international data; strong knowledge of qualitative and/or quantitative methods, preferably applied to indicator development, data quality and comparability assessment, normalization, and sensitivity analyses; the ability to work independently with relevant research software; and affinity with health system performance and sustainability in healthcare. Excellent English and good Dutch language skills, both spoken and written, are required, including Dutch at minimum B2 level. Strong collaboration skills and willingness to contribute to teaching activities in the department are expected. Experience with internationally comparative research, operationalizing indicator sets, harmonizing data across countries and organizations, consensus methods, or measuring ecological footprint is preferred.
