About this position
The I-CARE project at the University of Twente explores how the impacts of informal caregiving can be better incorporated into health technology assessment and healthcare decision-making. The postdoctoral researcher will help develop and evaluate methods for capturing caregiver impacts that are often overlooked in HTAs and reimbursement decisions.
Working within the HTSR section, the successful candidate will contribute to a methodological project that combines health technology assessment, health economics, and citizen science. The role includes stakeholder engagement with patients, informal caregivers, healthcare professionals, policymakers, and other partners, as well as interviews, focus groups, and co-creation sessions to identify and prioritise relevant caregiver impacts.
The position also involves developing methodological guidance and a practical framework for future health economic evaluations. A further part of the project is to extend and apply health economic models to assess the societal impact of informal caregiving in dementia and Duchenne muscular dystrophy, and to communicate findings through publications, conference presentations, and recommendations for policy and practice.
The post is based in the Faculty of Behavioural, Management and Social Sciences and the Technical Medical Center at the University of Twente, with HTSR providing a multidisciplinary research environment focused on health innovation development, evaluation, optimisation, and implementation.
