Fellow Lung Diseases with specialization in Interstitial Lung Diseases (0.8 - 1 fte)

• Working in a nationally and internationally recognized ILD expertise center.
• A varied combination of tertiary and general pulmonary care.
• Opportunities to actively contribute to scientific research.
• Working in a large non-academic teaching hospital where patient care, research, and education come together.
• Being part of a large, ambitious department with broad expertise.

Within the St. Antonius Tertiary Lung Disease Center, tertiary patient care, scientific research, and education are combined. The center has VWS recognition as an Expertise Center for Rare Diseases (ECZA) and is nationally and internationally recognized as an expertise center in the field of interstitial lung diseases (ILD), such as pulmonary fibrosis and sarcoidosis, pulmonary hypertension, and Rendu-Osler-Weber disease (ROW). The Tertiary Center also works closely with UMC Utrecht in a joint lung transplantation program.

As an ILD fellow, you participate in the full breadth of the interstitial lung disease field, working intensively with other specialties and participating in various MDTs. There is also the possibility to actively participate in scientific research. In addition to your work within the ILD team, you will also participate in clinical and outpatient general pulmonary care, duties, and the training and supervision of our residents.

You will be working within one of the leading lung centers in the Netherlands, known for progressive patient care, scientific research, and education. Furthermore, the St. Antonius is one of the largest non-academic teaching hospitals in the Netherlands, with 22 RGS-recognized medical postgraduate training programs. Within the Lung Diseases department, you will work together with 27 pulmonologists who profile themselves (inter)nationally in various areas of focus and have an eye for care innovation. The department operates at the Utrecht and Nieuwegein locations, with the ILD team primarily based in Nieuwegein.

We are looking for an ILD fellow (0.8 - 1.0 fte) starting January 1, 2027. The appointment is for a period of two years, based on the Medical Specialists' Employment Conditions Regulation (AMS).

We are looking for a colleague who:

• Has an affinity with interstitial lung diseases (ILD) and wants to further develop in this field.
• In addition to the ILD area of focus, also enjoys participating in general pulmonary care.
• Likes to work within a multidisciplinary team and seeks connection with colleagues and other specialties.
• Has an interest in education, training, and knowledge sharing, for example by organizing continuing education, podcasts, and patient meetings.
• Takes initiative, is a strong communicator, and wants to actively contribute to the further development of ILD care.

At St. Antonius, you work on (highly) complex care with your heart in the right place. We are a top-clinical teaching hospital where patient care, education, and research go hand in hand. Thanks to our size, we make a real impact, but remain agile and personal.

Our clinical priorities are heart & vascular, lungs, and cancer. Additionally, we are one of the leaders in the Netherlands in the field of value-based care. This means that we do not only look at what is medically possible, but especially at what truly makes a difference for the individual patient. By structurally measuring the most important outcomes and learning together, also with the other Santeon hospitals, we make care a little bit better every day. With us, every employee, including you, makes a difference for the patient.
