Offer Description

Recently, a large new national research project has started on acute stroke diagnostics in the ambulance (prehospital triage). This research project (called CROSSROADS) is carried out by 3 University Medical Centers (UMC’s) in The Netherlands (Amsterdam UMC, Maastricht UMC+ and UMCG) and is subsidized by the Netherlands Heart Foundation. Specifically, two new technical instruments will be tested that allow ambulance nurses to quickly and accurately diagnose acute stroke in the home setting. The two instruments are based on electroencephalography (EEG) and transcranial doppler (TCD). The companies behind the instruments (TrianecT and NovaSignal, respectively) and two ambulance services (in Amsterdam and Maastricht regions) are also participating the study.
For the CROSSROADS study, we at the UMCG are looking for an enthusiastic researcher. As a PhD student, you will be primarily employed to conduct the economic evaluation of the triage tools. This includes collecting (economic) data, analyzing the data and writing scientific articles. You will also collaborate with colleagues from Canada who support in data analysis.
