About this position
This postdoctoral project is hosted by Nantes Université within the POPS research unit, a team focused on prevention, organisation, and patient pathways in primary care. The successful researcher will join the team’s deprescribing work group and contribute to research that combines epidemiology, clinical research, and participatory approaches in real-world primary care settings.
The main assignment centres on ABC-MG, a pragmatic cluster-randomised trial conducted in general practice. The study examines the impact of selective reporting for antibiotic susceptibility testing on general practitioners’ prescribing of broad-spectrum antibiotics for women with E. coli urinary tract infections. The postdoctoral researcher will coordinate data management, monitoring, and statistical analysis using SNDS data on a secured platform, then lead the preparation of the first report and scientific article, while also anticipating ancillary analyses.
In the second phase of the appointment, the researcher will support work on a second population-based deprescribing trial, DEPRESCRIPP-DAM, including the preparation of its report and scientific article. The role also includes drafting and submitting a grant proposal in the field of deprescribing. The position therefore combines trial analysis, secondary data work, and scientific writing within a collaborative multidisciplinary environment that includes a Nantes CHU methodologist and the principal investigator.
The research environment is described as an unusually broad partnership in France, bringing together a university, a university hospital, a technological research institute, a national research organisation, and several grandes écoles.
