Paraveterinair recovery en planner diagnostische beeldvorming/anesthesie

Als paraveterinair recovery word je intern opgeleid om in toenemende mate zelfstandig op de recovery te werken, waar de patiënten bijkomen uit narcose. Het patiëntenaanbod bestaat niet alleen uit chirurgische patiënten voor uiteenlopende ingrepen, maar ook uit dieren die diagnostische beeldvorming — zoals röntgenfoto’s, echografie, MRI, CT of scintigrafie — of radiotherapie moeten ondergaan.

Afhankelijk van je capaciteiten, interesses en ontwikkeling bestaat de mogelijkheid om op termijn verder te worden opgeleid tot een zelfstandig werkende anesthesiemedewerker. In deze rol draag je ook bij aan het praktisch anesthesiologisch onderwijs aan coassistenten, waaronder de klinische begeleiding en beoordeling.

Daarnaast word je onderdeel van het planningsteam van de diagnostische beeldvorming en anesthesie. Dit team bestaat uit een coördinerend planner en drie paraveterinairen. Zij plannen en coördineren alle beeldvormende onderzoeken en anesthesieverrichtingen binnen de kliniek. Alle paraveterinairen in dit team zijn deels actief op de planning en deels op de werkvloer. Dit resulteert in een afwisselende en betrokken functie binnen een gespecialiseerde omgeving.

Postdoc: Responsible scaling of digital innovation in mental healthcare

During the development of many new products and services, insufficient thought is given to how these innovations could scale in a socially responsible way. We assume that innovators, together with a broad group of stakeholders, must think about important conditions for successful scaling at an early stage of the innovation process. At the moment, there is a need for a better understanding how to approach responsible scaling.

In the project you will learn about how innovations can improve local day-to-day practice in mental healthcare, and about the systemic conditions to facilitate this local implementation, such as regulations, participation, governance, funding, etc. For this, a new theory for responsible scaling needs to be developed, resulting in diffusion pathways allow for contextualization and tailored implementation. These pathways should include various societal perspectives and values (ethics, public values, company’s interests) from the very start. They should also be able to align with – or recommend changes for – institutional boundaries in the (mental) healthcare system.

As a postdoctoral researcher in this project, you will conduct in-depth empirical studies on the dynamics of responsible scaling in digital mental healthcare. Broadly, the following research activities are foreseen for this project:

• Conceptualizing diffusion and scaling theories of innovation;
• Investigating scaling pathways in the context of existing cases in mental health, by looking at routines, values, assumptions of the different organizations and users involved in the development and upscaling of digital innovations;
• Exploring possible future scaling pathways for responsible scaling and recommendations on how to build them and under which circumstances to use them;
• Uncovering success and failure factors that facilitate or hinder scaling specifically in eHealth for mental health.

As a postdoctoral researcher you will become embedded in a larger project on responsible scaling of digital innovation in mental healthcare, and interact with a wide range of interesting stakeholders, including technology developers, mental health organizations, patient groups, reimbursement agencies, etc. You will also be involved in exciting scientific communities on innovation and technology assessment.

The project will be supervised by Dr Lotte Krabbenborg and Prof. Wouter Boon.

Postdoc: multi-risk adaptation pathways for river delta systems

The Dynamic Adaptive Pathways Planning for Multi-Risk (DAPP-MR) framework helps decision-makers navigate these challenges by identifying low-regret near-term actions and avoiding costly decision lock-ins. Building on this framework, this position focuses on designing robust multi-risk pathways for complex multi-sectoral delta systems.

Your job
In this 2-year postdoc, you will explore new approaches for developing multi-risk adaptation pathways that inform robust decision-making while balancing multi-sectoral trade-offs. You will start by working with decision-makers and stakeholders in the Netherlands to characterize current and future risks in the Dutch delta and identify trade-offs between sectoral priorities. You will then develop methods for designing adaptation pathways that navigate these risks, and evaluate your approach against state-of-the-art adaptive pathway planning. You will share your results in stakeholder meetings, scientific conferences, and academic journals. Your work will help Dutch water managers plan adaptation under uncertainty and contribute approaches that can be transferred to deltas worldwide.

Postdoctoral Researcher ‘Inclusive Governance’ for the Prince Claus Chair

In this role, you will combine theoretical and methodological expertise in research with organizational and social skills to advance the goals of the Prince Claus Chair (approximately 50-50%). The postdoc position is designed to enhance high-quality academic scholarship and leverage evidence-based research for equity and development, with an emphasis on Suriname and the advancement of Inclusive Governance in Suriname. You will work closely with the Prince Claus chairholder, who will stay in Suriname and Utrecht on an alternating basis.

The postdoctoral researcher will play a pivotal role in advancing the strategic and academic objectives of the Prince Claus Chair. The research focuses on the intersection of traditional governance, post-slavery legacies, and inclusive development. By placing Maroon communities of Suriname in a comparative global context, alongside other traditional societies and African-descended populations, the PCC aims to deepen our understanding of shared governance challenges and strategies. The research by the PCC fits into current societal debates around ethnicity, land rights, sustainable development, female leadership and the social, economic and environmental impacts of utilizing natural resources. It provides an opportunity to explore important themes such as equity, access to resources, and the participation of marginalized populations. This will come together under the heading of Inclusive Governance. Research will have academic and societal impact, and tasks include:

1. Designing and conducting research approaches and methodologies aimed at understanding Inclusive Governance, in Suriname and elsewhere;
2. Involvement in developing research proposals, instrumentation, design, sampling, data collection, data analysis and report writing;
3. Publishing and disseminating research findings to (inter)national academic, public and practical audiences, in multiple (written and oral) ways;
4. Editorial roles related to writing and publishing a book on public governance and administration in Suriname.

Approximately half of the available time is reserved for research aligned with the PCC’s goals, and half of the time for organizational and project support. The postdoctoral researcher will be the first point of contact for these organizational activities and will work closely with the chair holder, prof. Ine Apapoe, and representatives of the strategic theme Institutions for Open Societies, Utrecht School of Governance, REBO faculty, and other key stakeholders to ensure the successful implementation of the chair’s objectives.

Key organizational responsibilities will include:

• Facilitating international collaboration, for example by organizing events;
• Developing and implementing activities within UU (IOS and REBO/USG) in line with the workplan of the PCC;
• Managing the visits of the PCC to Utrecht, and organizing events, workshops and meetings;
• Practical support to the PCC related to proposal writing, book publishing and other activities as defined in the workplan.
