(University Tenure Line)
The Division of Research in the Department of Pathology at Stanford University seeks an outstanding scientist to join the Department as Assistant Professor in the University Tenure Line. Stanford Pathology particularly encourages candidates who aspire to groundbreaking research in structural biology, computational biology, or innovative experimental biology related to allergy, infectious diseases, vaccinology and immunology. The successful candidate will collaborate with other scientists and clinically active faculty to develop groundbreaking insights into basic and translational human biology and novel therapeutic targets.
The Department of Pathology at Stanford University is one of the leading academic pathology departments in the US with approximately 120 faculty, among whom are a Nobel laureate, HHMI investigators, multiple members of the National Academies, and many faculty with other national distinctions. Stanford Pathology research has areas of focus that include anatomic and clinical pathology, immunology, genetics, cancer research, and neuroscience. We seek an innovative faculty member who will inspire and train the next generation of biomedical revolutionaries.
The predominant criterion for appointment in the University Tenure Line is a major commitment to research and teaching. The successful applicant should have a Ph.D., D.Sc., and/or M.D. and an outstanding track record in research and teaching. Individuals appointed as Assistant Professors in the UTL will have completed housestaff training (for M.D. applicants) and, additionally, one or two years of postdoctoral research experience. Their accomplishments during graduate and postgraduate training should already have stamped them as creative and promising investigators. If these individuals have not had formal teaching experience, they should have demonstrated during their postdoctoral training a commitment to develop the skills necessary for first-rate teaching. In short, the successful candidate must have demonstrated true distinction (or the promise of achieving true distinction) in research, and the capability of sustaining first-rate performance (or the promise of this) in teaching, and excellence in patient care (if applicable) appropriate to the programmatic need upon which the appointment is based. The initial term of appointment will be four years.
Applicants should submit a curriculum vitae, a cover letter, a one-page research statement, a one-page teaching statement, and a one-page list of references to: Faculty Positions Application Link. Applications will be accepted and reviewed until the position is filled.
The university's central functions of research and education depend on freedom of thought, and expression. The Pathology Department, School of Medicine, and Stanford University value faculty who will help foster an open and respectful academic environment for colleagues, students, and staff with a wide range of backgrounds, identities, and perspectives. Candidates may choose to include as part of their research and teaching statements a brief discussion about how their work and experience will further these values.
