"Primary Care and Population Health: Physician Scientist Search"

The Division of Primary Care and Population Health (PCPH) is seeking a new faculty member with a focus on health services research to advance primary care delivery to join at the rank of Assistant or Associate Professor in the University Tenure Line or University Medical Line. Successful candidates must not only have training in the general field of health services research but have a strong interest and demonstrated talent in applying that interest at the institutional level. This interest and talent should be matched with methodologic training and strong potential for influential publication and mentorship. Candidates across the translational spectrum from clinical trials to implementation science are encouraged, and those with applied research objectives and an emphasis on clinical care related to disease prevention, chronic disease management, population health strategies, social drivers of health, and implementation of technology to enhance clinical care will find the most opportunities. The clinical content area should be within the broad bounds of our Division to include primary care, general internal medicine, family medicine, geriatrics, and palliative care. We are particularly interested in candidates who have an MD, DO or equivalent with board eligibility or certification in medicine (general internal medicine, family medicine, or geriatrics), and post-doctoral training is preferred.

We are seeking dynamic, creative individuals to develop their own research program in collaboration with other faculty members. Successful and qualified candidates will exhibit accomplishment in research that applies theory and evidence to understand and address problems in health care delivery and potential to test organizational innovations that improve the value. The candidate will also be expected to contribute to our mission through education and teaching including training and mentoring of residents, fellows and other trainees in graduate programs associated with the Stanford University School of Medicine.

The predominant criterion for appointment in the University Tenure Line is a major commitment to research and teaching. The major criteria for appointment for faculty in the University Medical Line shall be excellence in the overall mix of clinical care, clinical teaching, scholarly activity that advances clinical medicine, and institutional service appropriate to the programmatic need the individual is expected to fulfill. Faculty rank and line will be determined by the qualifications and experience of the successful candidate. The candidate should have a growing track record of publication and funding commensurate with experience.

The research activities of the Division of Primary Care and Population Health are diverse. Current areas of focus include health policy, quality of care, delivery system innovation, pain and symptom measurement and management, goals of care communication, global health, appropriate use of medications, health informatics and other applications of technology and bioinformatics, organization science, implementation science, health economics, and biomedical ethics. Many crosslinks exist with researchers in other clinical Divisions and Departments as well as the Departments of Health Policy and Epidemiology in the School of Medicine, as well as the Schools of Business and Engineering.

Applications will be reviewed beginning March 2026 and accepted until the position is filled.
