About this position
This postdoctoral position is based in the Health Services Research group at Maastricht University, within the Faculty of Health, Medicine and Life Sciences and the Care and Public Health Research Institute (CAPHRI). The role sits at the intersection of health economics and health technology assessment, with projects spanning lifestyle care, mental health, and environmental effects.
The postdoc will contribute to ongoing research projects and support their translation into outputs for external clients and stakeholders. Work includes contributing to scientific publications, supporting grant proposals, and helping deliver research findings in practical forms. A substantial part of the role focuses on economic evaluation, including trial-based and model-based analyses as well as cost-effectiveness work.
In addition to quantitative evaluation work, the position also involves qualitative process evaluation and support for teaching in health economics and HTA. The successful candidate will work closely with junior and senior researchers in a collaborative, multidisciplinary environment that links university research with the wider Maastricht UMC+ setting.
The group describes itself as internationally oriented, methodologically innovative, interdisciplinary, and socially relevant, with a focus on prevention, participation, and the value of care.
