AMC

The AMC is one of the foremost research institutions in the Netherlands, as well as one of its largest hospitals. It is a world in which patient care, research and education are integrated, and in which people are always central. It is full of possibilities for talented individuals that are looking for a place where they can excel.

Some 1000 members of staff are either fully or partially employed in (bio) medical research. Our research covers the whole spectrum of biomedical research: from fundamental science and proof of concept studies to applied clinical studies, health services research and medical informatics. This concentration of expertise makes the centre a breeding ground for fruitful scientific collaborations. In this way, we aim to respond effectively to the current and future medical needs.

Our biomedical researchers have access to high-quality facilities and the relevant patient material. The scientific careers of talented young researchers are stimulated by the ‘Principal Investigator’ system, which challenges them to develop their own lines of research.
