*PhD position - Department of Cardiovascular Sciences & Department of 
Managerial Economics, Strategy and Innovation*
*(Ref. BAP-2013-112)*

The department of Cardiovascular Sciences is looking for a PhD fellow to 
chart the evolution of publishing in cardiovascular sciences in the 
changing landscape of research funding and research evaluation. This is 
a joint project with the Centre for R&D monitoring of the Department of 
Managerial Economics, Strategy and Innovation.


*PhD position - Department of Cardiovascular Sciences & Department of 
Managerial Economics, Strategy and Innovation*
The laboratory of Experimental Cardiology, Department of Cardiovascular 
Sciences, has an active research program in cardiac cell biology 
focusing on calcium handling, ion channels and excitability, and 
studying remodeling in ischemic heart disease. Since January 2013, the 
department of Cardiovascular Sciences houses the journal Cardiovascular 
Research (editor-in-chief, K. Sipido, deputy editors P. Holvoet, S. 
Janssens, A. Luttun & M. Sampaolesi from the dept. Development & 
Regeneration).
Publishing is a major component of the scientific process as the means 
for sharing data and bringing results in the public domain. Publications 
reflect the activity of scientists and the use of funding. Metrics of 
publication are increasingly used in the assessment processes of 
institutes, grant allocation and individual scientists. The dynamics 
underlying these metrics depend on many variables, including the 
specificity of the domain and its position in the landscape of funding 
and research actors.
The project will be supported and guided by the Department of 
Cardiovascular Sciences, prof. K. Sipido, and the Faculty of Business 
and Economics, prof. W. Glanzel. Prof. Glanzel is leads a research team 
at the CENTRE FOR R&D MONITORING (ECOOM <http://www.ecoom.be/en>), a 
research centre funded by the Flemish Government dedicated to the 
development of R&D, innovation, and technology indicators. The center is 
active in scientific research in the fields of bibliometrics, 
technometrics and innovation.

*Project*
This PhD project will explore the evolution and underlying mechanisms of 
publications and metrics in cardiovascular sciences. The candidate will 
collect data on publication output in the cardiovascular sciences, 
growth of research activities, sources of funding, journal 
characteristics and growth. The data will be put into the perspective of 
the global biomedical research activities and publication patterns, and 
the evolution of funding policies.

*Profile*
The applicant must have a Master's degree with distinction. Candidates 
should have expert training in the biomedical field with solid knowledge 
in data handling and statistics, or expertise in data mining, statistics 
and econometrics with knowledge of the biomedical field.

*Offer*
A full-time position for 4 years with a PhD Fellowship.

*Interested?*
For more information please contact Prof. dr. Karin Sipido, tel.: +32 16
