Utrecht Centre for

Pharmaceutical Policy and Regulation

Phd programme.

Background The Utrecht Centre for Pharmaceutical Policy and Regulation offers an international high quality PhD-programme for professionals with several years of relevant work experience. The unique format of the programme combines academic research and public health practice requiring candidates to use their work experience, data and policy issues as input for their PhD-thesis. The Utrecht Centre is a leading platform for independent multidisciplinary research which links drug regulation, pharmacoepidemiology, public health and policy analysis.

The Centre is based at the Division of Pharmacoepidemiology and Clinical Pharmacology of Utrecht University in the Netherlands, an internationally acclaimed research institute, and works closely with many well-known international partners such as the World Health Organization and the European Medicines Agency as well as with national partners such as the Dutch Medicines Evaluation Board and the National Health Care Institute.

Research Themes

The work of the Centre concentrates on the design and evaluation of pharmaceutical policies with a focus on Global Health, Drug Regulatory Science (e.g. drug approval) and health technology assessment (e.g. drug access, pricing and reimbursement).

More information Please read the flyer to learn more about the programme, what we offer and what type of candidates we are looking for: PhD programme professionals 2021_final

Application At the moment the application is closed. To be informed about the next application deadline, please send an e-mail to Dr. Rianne van den Ham, [email protected], and you will be put on the contact list.

The Infection & Immunity PhD program is a multidisciplinary research program that will prepare PhD candidates for a career focused on challenges and solutions that affect the lives of millions around the globe. Our PhD program was formed in 1993 and has proven itself over the decades. We connect immunologists, infectious disease physicians, paediatricians, bacteriologists, virologists, chemists and cell biologist to study and fight elements in infectious diseases and immunological disorders. We have assembled groups that do outstanding research. Not only in basic microbiology and immunology, but also in the field where the two research areas meet.

Wilsem, Erna van

Coordinator phd program.

Our PhD candidates are professional researchers. We believe that their research project and thesis should be their main concern during their PhD track. Therefor our curriculum consists of monthly seminars by leading international researchers, weekly in-depth lectures by guest lecturers, yearly meetings with your peers and advanced courses in Immunology and Infectious diseases

Besides these activities, we encourage our PhD candidates to obtain new skills at the  GS-LS course centre , to visit (international) symposia and conferences, and to participate in professional courses pertinent to their own research projects.

Application

To enter the PhD programme Infection & Immunity, you must have a position as a PhD student at the Utrecht University. Only after obtaining a PhD position, you can fill out our application form.

Practical matters

Who do you deal with during your PhD? And what's more to a PhD trajectory than conducting a research project resulting in a PhD thesis? Find out in these two handy infographics.

PhD Psychologist

The PhD psychologist offers psychological support when it comes to psychological problems caused by the promotion process or that have a direct effect on it. The support lies in between the help offered by staff welfare service and the general mental healthcare service (GGZ). The costs for an intake interview are 25 euros, I & I will reimburse these costs for our PhD students. After the initial appointment any further appointments are free of charge.

Since the doctorate level academic training program is an individualized training program, we advise you to keep a portfolio of all educational activities you attend during your PhD track. You may use this portfolio to apply for a certificate from the Utrecht University Graduate School of Life Sciences (GSLS).

The portfolio consists of courses and practical training aimed at acquiring specific academic skills, general scientific skills or transferable skills. It may also include other activities such as attending conferences, seminars and master classes, participation in retreats and journal clubs. Courses can be taken at the Graduate School or elsewhere.

For its courses, the Graduate School adheres to the ECTS system: workload of 28 hours = 1 EC. There is no formal requirement for a minimum amount of courses, hours or EC's. The Graduate School recommends 20 EC for PhD training during a four-year fulltime PhD project.

Infection & Immunity Utrecht sponsors the theses of its members. An amount of € 100,00 is available per thesis.

Doing a Phd

If you have completed your Master's programme, and you are enthusiastic about doing research in your field, then maybe doing a Doctorate (PhD) might be something for you. A Doctor’s degree is the highest academic degree awarded by a Dutch university. You start as 'assistant in training' (aio) or 'researcher in training' (oio).

At Utrecht University

At Utrecht University you take part in education in one of the Graduate Schools and often also teach students. During the four-year PhD programme you work under the guidance of a professor on creating a research project that results in a dissertation or a series of articles in scientific journals. You can search for positions on research projects on offer or a position whereby you are free to submit your own research proposal. Read more on doing a PhD at Utrecht University. 

Other options

The best way to find a PhD position is through networking with the professor in the field you wish to specialize. Another option is to search via www.academictransfer.nl . Here you can also find more information on doing PhD research in the Netherlands.

Is your PhD coming to and end and are you in doubt about what to do next? In this workshop, we will explore these questions to find out what is in your wheelhouse. By consciously and interactively engaging with these themes, you will find out what it is you really want.

Experienced career coach Rutger-Jan Scholtens (UU Career Services) will encourage you to look at different aspects of yourself and your life to extract information for your future. By mapping your interests, capabilities, motives and career values, you will determine what is (most) important to you.

After the workshop, you will be better able to consider the jobs, organizations and tasks that fit your preferences. And you will continue your job search with more self-knowledge and more self-confidence. 

Knowing your qualities & working with core quadrants

Everyone is born with a few core qualities, do you know yours? Don’t hesitate, name them! Are you aware of your challenges? Knowing them gives you the opportunity to develop and grow, both as a person and in your career. In this interactive workshop you will (re)discover your qualities and challenges. You’re going to work on a couple of core quadrants.

Core quadrants are useful to build your resume (or LinkedIn profile) and they lead to more self-confidence at job interviews. Besides that, it is just fun to know where you are good at!

Trainer Marieke Noordam ( www.mariekenoordam.nl ) is an experienced coach and trainer. She will encourage you to look at yourself in a different way by challenging you to step out of your comfort zone.

Labour market orientation & the role of personal qualities

In this workshop there will be given a way to explore your core-qualities and to see these strengths in yourself work mostly in your favour and sometimes against you. Self-awareness is fundamental to be a future leader and/ or project manager. We will give 3 important moments in the exploration of your next career step where it is very useful to have a good impression of your personal qualities. Except this the question: What do you bring for our company? Is a standard question in a job interview. Awareness of your 4 or 5 personal qualities is the basis for preparing a job interview.

Results We will explore your strengths and weaknesses by:

• Exploring your values, cultural background and upbringing.
• Discovering your personal view on your strengths and weaknesses.
• Analysing 4 or 5 personal successes. 
• At the end of the workshop a fairly clear image of your personal qualities will emerge. The workshop gives you guidelines to continue to explore your core qualities and how to use this knowledge in a job interview.
• Furthermore, it will give direction for personal coaching topics.

Workshop Round 2: Monday 24 June (15h15 - 17h15)

"Enhancing your skill set"

Negotiating about career issues

Do you find it stressful to negotiate about salary? Do you tend to give in, because you don’t dare to say ‘no’? Do you want to win in negotiations, even if it means that the relationship with your interlocutor is at stake?

Even though you negotiate every day, stress at the bargaining table can’t be avoided. Whether you are negotiating with your future manager, your partner or a car dealer, conflicting interests lead to stress and emotions.

Negotiation is not about winning or losing; it is about resolving an issue in a way that both parties find acceptable. Therefore you need to make a connection with your interlocutor. Under stress, this can be challenging!

Hostage negotiators are masters in creating connections, even with people they dislike, who are potentially dangerous, and who at first do not even want to talk to them. It is all about creating a dialogue, building trust and form a bond to do what has to be done.

In this workshop you will experience what you can learn from a police negotiator in your negotiations. You will explore your own reaction in a stressful conversation. Through self-reflection, advice and tactics you learn how to create connection to get the best out of your negotiations.

• Increased awareness of your own emotions and reactions under stress; don’t be a hostage to your emotions
• Increased ability to build connection: no impact without connection
• Increased ability to get results and keep the relationship in negotiations

Communication styles & giving positive feedback

Have you ever experienced that you can work very well with some people and not so well with others? Well, perhaps those people have different communication styles. For example, a communication style that you like or dislike.

In this workshop, I want to introduce you to different communication styles. What is your preferred style? What is your allergy? And which style would be a challenge for you? I want to teach you how to recognize the different styles and how to establish real contact with them, enabling you to collaborate more effectively with them.

Furthermore, I want to teach you in this workshop how to easily establish contact with positive feedback and thereby create a deeper conversation with someone. The goal of the workshop is not just to remain theoretical, but to provide practical tools. The workshop is interactive, where we mainly engage in doing and experimenting.
