Project Proposal
Seeking junior postdoc in eHealth and technology supported health care for a one year position
Seeking expertise:
The Research group MOVANT in the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences of the University of Antwerp is looking for a full-time (100%) postdoctoral scholarship* holder or a part-time (40%) postdoctoral researcher not on scholarship in the field of e-Health and technology supported health care. The aim is to obtain follow up funding through national and international channels.
(* When applying for the full-time postdoctoral scholarship, the obtained PhD needs to be from a non-Belgian institution.)
This position is framed within the postdoc challenge “The big LEAP forward: teLerehabilitation and E-heAlth in Physiotherapy” organized by the research group MOVANT (Movement Antwerp): Telerehabilitation and eHealth, although providing novel opportunities and advantages for rehabilitation and physiotherapy programs, still pose many challenges at societal, technological and individual levels. With this postdoc challenge we aim to recruit a postdoc candidate proficient in tackling these challenges at least at one of three levels: 1) technological: advancing the technical level of eHealth in physiotherapy by research on technology and the inclusion of artificial intelligence (AI) for using collected patient data in clinical decision making; 2) individual: monitoring and/or alleviating barriers by researching emotions, cognitions, and behavior in different contexts to explain differences in outcome; 3) societal: providing evidence of (cost-)effectiveness of telerehabilitation and eHealth in physiotherapy through large-scale intervention trials.
