Staff Member Vascular Neurology

As a staff member in vascular neurology within the Department of Neurology at Amsterdam UMC, you will provide specialist clinical and outpatient care within the spearhead of cerebrovascular diseases. This spearhead includes care for patients with conditions such as cerebral infarction, cerebral hemorrhage, sinus thrombosis, cerebral and spinal vascular malformations, and vasculitis. Acute vascular care is provided by all neurology staff members at Amsterdam UMC; a vascular neurologist is available 24/7 for consultation.

We are looking for an academically ambitious neurologist who combines excellent patient care with scientific research. You will be given the space to develop your own research line or strengthen existing research lines, acquire external research funding, and supervise PhD candidates. You will join a close-knit and ambitious team of three vascular neurologists (prof. dr. Jonathan Coutinho, dr. Paul Nederkoorn, and dr. Marieke Visser) and two fellows. In the coming years, we intend to further expand the vascular group, both in clinical and scientific fields.

Amsterdam UMC is one of the largest and most prominent centers for cerebrovascular diseases in the Netherlands. We combine high-volume acute stroke care, including intra-arterial thrombectomy, with complex tertiary patient care and internationally leading scientific research. The research group holds a strong international position, with dozens of PhD candidates and an extensive network of national and international collaborative partners.

In addition to your activities within vascular neurology, you will—just like the other staff members—contribute to general neurological patient care, including outpatient care, clinical supervision, and participation in neurological services. Furthermore, you will contribute to the training of future neurologists and the further development of the neurology department as a whole.
