Fellow advanced GI surgery (AVL at OLVG)

The basis for the employment conditions is in accordance with the AMS regulation. The Fellowship will start at AVL. Both locations offer you a continuous contract with a total duration of 2 years.

OLVG and the Antoni van Leeuwenhoek (AVL) are jointly seeking a fellow advanced GI surgery for a duration of 2 years. This concerns a position starting February 1, 2027, with the focus area of oncological gastrointestinal surgery, where you will work at both locations for 1 year.

The GI surgery divisions of OLVG and AVL work closely together and have intensive contact. Patient care at both locations is characterized by strong multidisciplinary collaboration, both outpatient and clinical, where surgeries are also performed jointly with other surgical disciplines. In addition to clinical tasks, participation in scientific research is encouraged, and you can become acquainted with new forms of treatment and techniques.

This fellowship gives you the opportunity to develop into a broadly trained oncological GI surgeon who is ready for a staff position in a top-clinical hospital.

The GI surgery at OLVG includes the treatment of colorectal carcinoma, liver tumors, as well as pancreas surgery. Minimally invasive techniques, including with the robot, are at the forefront here. Furthermore, there is attention for benign abdominal pathology (e.g., hernia, adrenal gland, and pelvic floor), where bariatrics (West location) also forms part of the daily practice. Within OLVG, you will work at the Chirurgen Maatschap Amsterdam (CMA), a partnership with Boven IJ, where a differentiated on-call system applies and you perform on-call duties independently.

The GI surgery at AVL encompasses a wide range of activities, including liver surgery (incl. robot), neuroendocrine tumors, and the treatment of colorectal carcinoma in all its facets, ranging from wait-and-see and minimally invasive (incl. robot) procedures to extensive pelvic surgery with intraoperative radiation for locally advanced and recurrent tumors, exenterations, and HIPEC. As a fellow, you will perform on-call duties at AVL as an intermediate on-call physician.
