The Department of Otolaryngology — Head & Neck Surgery (OHNS) at Stanford University School of Medicine seeks a developmental biologist (PhD or MD) with interest in neurosensory biology to join the OHNS Department as a faculty member at any rank (assistant to full professor) in the University Tenure Line (UTL), University Medical Line (UML), or Non-Tenure Line-Research (NTL-R). We are particularly interested in candidates who have a strong background in stem cell biology and experience with combining multiple approaches, such as in vitro organoid methodologies and in vivo models, to investigate the development of sensory organs of the head and neck and to understand disorders of the hearing, vestibular, and/or olfactory systems. Investigators studying other developmental processes relevant to otolaryngology and structures of the head and neck, such as craniofacial development and neoplasia, are also highly encouraged to apply.

• 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.
• The major criterion for appointment for faculty in the Non-Tenure Line (Research) is evidence of high-level performance as a researcher for whose special knowledge a programmatic need exists.

Faculty rank and line will be determined by the qualifications and experience of the successful candidate.

The successful applicant should have a PhD, MD, or equivalent and should have scientific expertise, teaching experience, and accomplishments that are commensurate with their current rank. We expect the successful candidate to actively participate in departmental research events and seminars, as well as formal teaching and training opportunities. More senior candidates are expected to be leaders in their field and have a strong track record in publishing and funding.

The OHNS Department’s research interests encompass the broad field of Otolaryngology and range from basic science to translational and clinical research. We promote a team approach to research, supported by numerous collaborative projects, as well as a well-resourced departmental core facility.

Applications will be reviewed beginning January 10, 2025, and accepted until the position is filled.

About Stanford University

Located between San Francisco and San Jose in the heart of Silicon Valley, Stanford University is recognized as one of the world's leading research and teaching institutions. Leland and Jane Stanford founded the University to "promote the public welfare by exercising an influence on behalf of humanity and civilization." Stanford opened its doors in 1891, and more than a century later, it remains dedicated to finding solutions to the great challenges of the day and to preparing students for leadership in a complex world. The University's thriving diverse community is comprised of nearly 7000 undergraduate students, 9000 graduate students, 2000 faculty members, 1900 postdoctoral scholars, and over 11,000 academic and administrative staff in seven schools including several interdisciplinary research centers and institutes. The campus spreads over 8000 contiguous acres and nearly all undergraduates live on campus. Stanford offers bachelor's and master's degrees in addition to doctoral degrees (PhD, MD, DMA and JD) plus a number of professional and continuing education programs and certifications.
