Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist

Within the KJPP department, we work from five units: the Outpatient Clinic, the Adolescent Clinic, the Child and Youth Clinic, Psychosocial Care, and the Research Department. Due to the close connection between these components, we combine highly specialized patient care with education/training, innovation, and scientific research. And all of this within a single academic environment. Additionally, we work intensively with various medical specialties within the Erasmus MC/Sophia Children's Hospital and with our chain partners both within and outside the region.

The outpatient clinic: shaping specialist child and adolescent psychiatry together

Within our outpatient clinic, we work in various multidisciplinary teams with expertise in the fields of internalizing disorders, developmental disorders, infant mental health, and pharmacotherapy. This vacancy arises primarily within the outpatient team for internalizing disorders.

Within our academic setting, we are happy to think along about a job description that aligns with both your professional development and the needs of the department. Depending on your experience and interests, a combination with duties in the clinics is also a possibility. Thus, we offer a versatile position in which there is room for further specialization, collaboration, and innovation within child and adolescent psychiatry.
