About this position
Postdoc researcher in Symptomatology in Oncology at Tilburg University’s Department of Medical and Clinical Psychology.
The position is embedded in the Psycho-Oncology research line and the PROFIEL research group, where the team works closely with IKNL and several hospitals. The postdoc will contribute to two connected research directions: digital symptom monitoring in patients with cancer, and the investigation of biological mechanisms underlying symptom clusters relevant to cancer patients.
The project is strongly data-driven and combines large longitudinal patient-reported outcome datasets with clinical and biological data. The postdoc will help strengthen ongoing psycho-oncology research at MKP by carrying out literature reviews, writing scientific papers, analysing existing and newly collected datasets, and helping to prepare national and international grant applications. The advert specifically mentions opportunities to work on proposals for ERC Grants, NWO and KWF.
This role is part of a collaborative research environment that brings together psychologists, clinicians, researchers and patient organisations. The postdoc is expected to contribute actively to project and department meetings and to help generate insights that may support the future development of more tailored interventions to reduce symptom burden in people with cancer.
The appointment is at Tilburg University, within the School of Social and Behavioral Sciences, and is situated in the department’s broader research programme on mental well-being, underlying mechanisms, and personalised interventions.
