Pediatric Neurologist

As the 6th pediatric neurologist at MUMC+, you will be part of a close-knit team dedicated to clinical and outpatient pediatric neurological care. Additionally, there is the opportunity to make an active contribution to the further development of expertise in one or more key areas within our department through scientific research and innovation. You will also contribute to the internal and external transfer of knowledge, both within MUMC+ and within Maastricht University. Finally, you will play a role in maintaining and, where necessary, expanding networks of fellow professionals and referrers from the region (Brabant and Limburg).

The pediatric neurologists form a sub-department within the dynamic Neurology department, which consists of 19 neurologists. The department trains over 20 residents to become neurologists. Furthermore, several nurse practitioners are involved in neurological and pediatric neurological care within MUMC+.

As a pediatric neurologist, you will have a wide and varied palette of activities. This versatility makes our work not only challenging but also incredibly inspiring and fun! You will contribute to the care of children with (additional) neurological disorders in the PICU and NICU and the pediatric ward within the MOSAKids children's hospital. At our outpatient clinic, you will get the unique opportunity to see and treat the full spectrum of pediatric neurological disorders.

We work closely with professionals from various departments within MUMC+, including within specialized, multidisciplinary clinics. We also work closely with pediatric departments in the region.

In addition to the aforementioned clinical tasks, you will also make a valuable contribution to the training of neurologists, pediatric neurologists, and pediatricians in training, and you will play an active role in the bachelor's and master's education programs of the Faculty of Health, Medicine and Life Sciences.

The work environment is dynamic and challenging, the atmosphere is pleasant, and there are ample opportunities for personal development and further specialization in one of the department's areas of focus/key areas. Neuromodulation is a department-transcending key area within MUMC+, which includes epilepsy and movement disorders as the most important areas of focus.

You are a pediatrician or pediatric neurologist and also a registered pediatric neurologist with the NVKN (or equivalent European registration). We also invite you to apply if you are in the final year of your training to become a pediatric neurologist. You are enthusiastic and collegial and have good communication skills. You have a pronounced interest in pediatric neurological issues in the broadest sense of the word. Having (visible) affinity with science is valued.

Additionally, it is a requirement that you are permitted to work in the Netherlands (EU/EEA nationality or a valid work permit).

For this position, you must be able to provide a Certificate of Conduct (VOG) before the commencement of employment.

​Depending on education and experience, the salary is at least € 10,032 and at most € 14,265 gross per month for a full-time position. This salary is exclusive of irregular hours allowances, holiday allowance, and an end-of-year bonus of 8.3% of your gross annual salary.
