The NWO-funded project “Accelerating the development of effective psychological treatments for traumatised refugees using Bayesian methodology” is looking for a PhD candidate focused on Bayesian evaluation of single case experimental designs.
In single case experimental designs (SCEDs), as applied in therapy effect evaluation, 10-15 measurements of 2-4 outcome variables are typically taken over time. Despite the relative small amount of data, a powerful evaluation can be obtained if (i) the therapy effect on all the outcome variables is evaluated simultaneously, and (ii) the direction of the therapy effect on the outcome variables is specified. Therefore, a Bayesian approach for the evaluation of SCEDs will be developed in this PhD project.
To achieve this, Utrecht University and ARQ are collaborating in a new NWO-funded project “Accelerating the development of effective psychological treatments for traumatised refugees using Bayesian methodology”. This project is focused on further developing interventions for traumatised refugees and evaluating these in small-scale studies.The project encompasses two PhD projects: one focused on Bayesian evaluation of single case experimental designs (that is, the methodology that will be used for therapy effect evaluation) and the other focused on treatment development and evaluation. The current vacancy applies to Bayesian evaluation of SCEDs.
