We are looking for

As a PhD candidate you will write a PhD thesis on the digitalisation of medical consultation and professional practice in a collaborative project of the Centre for Language Studies and the interdisciplinary RU iHub for Security, Privacy and Data Governance, starting September 2021. Additionally, you will participate in the Graduate School for the Humanities, which includes taking courses for approximately six months and providing six months of academic service to the Faculty of Arts at Radboud University, during which you can prepare yourself for a career after your PhD.


Since the Covid-19 pandemic, the use of e-health instruments such as video consultation and health apps has suddenly become common practice in many health settings. This has major implications for medical professional practices that have hardly been investigated. The majority of health professionals lack training in the digitalisation of medical consultation and out of sheer necessity rely on learning on the job. Therefore, research on the digitalisation of medical consultation is urgent if we are to understand medical, professional practices, medical authority and medical communication today and to guide professionals. The aim of this project is twofold. First, this project examines in depth how video technology and use of e-health apps (e.g. patient-generated data) affect medical interactions and thus professional practices. We analyse a multimodal dataset of up to 40 remote video consultations with patients and health professionals using a combination of ethnographic and micro-analytic approaches (conversation analysis and interviews). Second, findings on the digitalisation of medical consultation are used to develop training workshops inspired by a renowned training concept (CARM). By combining communication/ discourse studies (CLS) with organisational studies (the second PhD supervisor is affiliated with the Faculty of Management), this project fulfils the aim of the iHub to enhance interdisciplinary research on digital transformations. Collaboration has been established with Sint Maartenskliniek and two general practices, where video consultation and health apps are used on a daily basis.
The project will be supervised by Wyke Stommel (CLS, Fac. of Arts), Berber Pas (iHub, Fac. of Management), and Wilbert Spooren (CLS, Fac. of Arts).

  • You should hold a Master's degree (or expect to complete your degree before September 2021; preferably a Research Master's degree) in linguistics, communication sciences, social sciences (e.g. business administration), health sciences, or other relevant discipline.
  • You are trained in qualitative research methods, preferably interview techniques and conversation analysis.
  • You are result-oriented, capable to manage a research project and able to establish and maintain contacts in the field (e.g. with medical professionals).
  • You are fluent in both Dutch and English, and have excellent writing skills.
  • Demonstrable research experience (publications, presentations) will be considered an advantage.
  • Demonstrable social competence and experience with the development of training for professionals will also be considered an advantage.

 

We are
