Through top scientific research, we push back boundaries and set a course for the future - a future that you can help to shape. The Department of Product Development in the Faculty of Design Sciences is looking for a full-time (100%) postdoctoral researcher. #### **About the project** The University of Antwerp is seeking a motivated and independent postdoctoral researcher to contribute to WELL-OPS (WELLbeing for OPerational Superiority), a four-year collaborative research project focused on human factors, occupational wellbeing and operational readiness in sustained maritime operations, including naval deployments. WELL-OPS aims to develop and validate a deployment readiness framework that connects human wellbeing and functioning to operational performance. The project combines longitudinal research in operational maritime settings with research conducted in the Dar Młodzieży living lab and controlled experiments in AMA’s MISSIM full-mission simulator. Together, these research settings enable the project to study human functioning and wellbeing over time and under varying operational conditions. A central ambition of WELL-OPS is to move beyond observation and measurement towards the development of evidence-based solutions that can be implemented in operational environments. Research findings will therefore be translated into a Product-Service System (PSS) that integrates digital monitoring tools with services, workflows and decision support, enabling personnel and organisations to identify, interpret and act upon factors affecting wellbeing, readiness and operational performance. The postdoctoral researcher will play a key role in connecting the different research activities within WELL-OPS. This includes contributing to the design and coordination of longitudinal and experimental research, analysing the relationships between human factors, wellbeing and operational performance, and translating research findings into actionable interventions, services and guidelines. Particular attention will be given to ensuring that the resulting solutions are both scientifically grounded and applicable within the constraints of real-world maritime operations. The project brin
