Dear members of the Network of Centers, TILT invites applications for an assistant professorship (UD) in the field of EU health law, with focus on regulating health technologies (broadly defined). Healthcare, which has traditionally been a protected and tightly-regulated arena of action, is increasingly challenged by the development of new technologies that may or may not be inherent to the practice of medicine and biomedical research. Given the continual permeation of emergent technologies into healthcare, researchers and policy makers are not always able to foresee or oversee the potential implications and anticipate the regulatory measures necessary to governing the use of these technologies in the everyday practices of patients, care professionals and biomedical/health researchers. As part of a growing research program on the regulation and governance of health technologies, we are looking for legal scholars specialized in EU health law, who have solid knowledge of the law (in the books) as well as broader interest in issues of technological governance. Candidates should have demonstrable knowledge of current regulatory developments at the EU level that influence the practice of medicine and/or medical research in member states, as well as a solid basis in health law in one or more national legal systems. Knowledge of Dutch health law is considered to be an advantage.
