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.

Funding details

Full-time postdoc contract for 12 months with a salary of €4,925–€6,682 gross per month for a 1.0 FTE appointment, plus 8% holiday allowance and 8.3% year-end bonus.

What's required

Applicants must hold a PhD in (medical or clinical) psychology, biomedical sciences, or a field related to behavioural sciences and mental well-being. A strong publication record and an excellent dissertation are expected. Experience or interest in psycho-oncology, patient-reported outcomes, biological mechanisms, and/or digital symptom monitoring is preferred. Knowledge of eHealth applications or large cohort data is an advantage but not required. Candidates should be proactive, independent, collaborative, resilient, flexible, able to work under pressure, committed to scientific integrity and open science, and have strong analytical skills with experience in SPSS, SAS, or R. Very good oral and written Dutch and English are required, along with excellent communication, organisational, and analytical skills.
