*The Department of Healthcare Governance*

The department of Healthcare Governance studies the development and
consequences of changing steering arrangements in the healthcare
sectors. The department consists of some 25 researchers with different
social science backgrounds such as public administration, science and
technology studies, organizational sociology and anthropology. This
combination of disciplines places us in a unique position to study both
changing 'modes of governance' and the relation they have with changing
positions of key actors in the field of healthcare (e.g. professionals,
patients, managers) as well as the material infrastructures (e.g.
information technologies, performance assessment tools) that are built
to form the changing steering relationships. Research of the department
is largely funded by (inter)national science funding bodies and
organizations in the field of healthcare. Further information can be
found at:
http://www.bmg.eur.nl/english/research/sections/health_care_governance/

*Description of the position*

The Ph.D. candidates will participate in one or more of several research
projects of the department of Healthcare Governance, concerning the
position of managers in increasingly complex and hybrid healthcare
settings, innovations in health and social care and patient safety. They
will also play a role in the educational programs in which the
department participates, mainly at the bachelor level.

*Requirements*

The successful applicant for this position is expected to have a master
degree in a relevant field like Health Policy and Management, Science
and Technology Studies, Public Administration, or Organisation Studies.
Further s/he should have good writing skills, and a strong motivation
for doing scholarly research in the field of healthcare governance.
Candidates with strong skills and experience with doing empirical
research, qualitative research methods like ethnography, interviewing
and discourse analysis are preferred. Candidates should have excellent
skills in English and Dutch.
