1 PhD scholarship to conduct an international research on innovative technological person-centered care pathways (PCCPs) for patients with cancer

Job Description: Technological innovations are continuously shaping our future, and these innovations are crucial for a more efficient delivery of cancer care in Europe and worldwide.
- You will conduct research within the Horizon Europe-funded MyPath project. This project is an international, interdisciplinary and intersectoral project that aims to develop and evaluate the (cost) effectiveness of the "electronic MyPath PCCPs" in several cancer centers in Europe, including the University Hospital Brussels. Using the electronic MyPath PCCPs, a number of important symptoms and care needs are measured (PROMs) for each person with cancer, with which the appropriate action or care is linked. These PCCPs will be integrated into the patients’ electronic medical record.
- You will assist with the development and evaluation of the electronic MyPath PCCPs, mainly at the University Hospital Brussels.
- You will conduct this research together with researchers from nine European countries (Belgium, Norway, United Kingdom, Italy, Spain, Denmark, Germany, Romania, and Switzerland). This research project consists of: literature review; developing, pilot testing and evaluating MyPath in the cancer center of the University Hospital Brussels; preparing the protocol for the evaluation of MyPath, development and validation of questionnaires, qualitative research (interviews and stakeholder workshops and engagement) and quantitative research (evaluation study, including development, validation, conducting and analyzing surveys). For this project, you will receive the necessary training and support. As part of your PhD, you will write a series of scientific articles and present your research at (inter)national meetings, consortium meetings and conferences.

Voor deze functie zal onze Brussels Health Campus (Jette) je thuisbasis worden.
