Radboudumc
You will be part of the Mental Fitness research group. This multidisciplinary group is embedded in the Radboudumc
Psychiatry department, through which you will be affiliated with
the Donders Institue for Brain, Cognition and Behaviour. Through the co-appointment of
Dr. Janna Vrijsen, the group is also well-embedded at Pro Persona Mental Healthcare with a close link to the social sciences faculty (Behavioural Science Institute, BSI).
This rather unique position of the group makes for a diverse team of researchers who are collectively able to translate fundamental insights to clinical innovations as well as questions arising in clinical practice to research designs. This translational approach to positive cognition and mental health is what the group is all about. Currently, the research group consists of 2 post-docs, 10 PhD students, a reseach assistant and research nurse as well as students.
Practically, you can make use of expertise and research facilities within the Radboudumc, Donders Institute, Pro Persona and BSI. Furthermore, the Work-It-Out project is conducted in close collaboration with 'exercise experts' from the USA (Texas, Alabama), facilitating international visits.
You will have the possibility to shape your future based on your ambitions, as advancing the career of young researchers is one of the missions of the Radboudumc.
