The Department of Medicine at the Stanford University School of Medicine is recruiting a Division Chief of Computational Medicine for an academic appointment as Associate Professor or Professor of Medicine in the University Medical Line, University Tenure Line, or Non-Tenured Line (Research) at Stanford University School of Medicine. The Chief will provide strategic leadership, driving innovation in artificial intelligence and machine learning, computational modeling, and statistical methods, and their application to medical decision-making across the full spectrum of research and care—from understanding molecular mechanisms to improving patient outcomes. The Chief will lead the Division’s research and educational missions, fostering a culture of scientific excellence, collaboration, and translational impact.
We seek a candidate who combines proven leadership with an outstanding record of academic accomplishment, a deep commitment to research and education, an understanding of the complexity of academic medicine, and the creative vision to help grow and maintain a premier Division of Computational Medicine.
Candidates should be accomplished physician-investigators or scientists with national or international recognition and hold an MD, MD/PhD, or PhD (or equivalent). The successful candidate should have the ability to harness AI to shape the future of computational modeling and statistical methods to understand, predict, and individualize medical decision-making across the spectrum from molecular mechanisms to clinical care. The Chief will recruit and mentor faculty to support both laboratory and clinical research, enhance fellowship and training opportunities, and capitalize on the abundant research resources and collaborative environment at Stanford. This is a unique opportunity to lead a dynamic, forward-looking Division at the forefront of biomedical discovery and translational impact. Both established and emerging leaders in the field are 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 in the University Medical Line are 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 predominant criterion for appointment in the Non-Tenure Line Research is high level of 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 university’s central functions of research and education depend on freedom of thought, and expression. The Department of Medicine, 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.
Interested candidates should upload their curriculum vitae, a cover letter outlining their achievements in mentoring, teaching, clinical care (if applicable), research, and describe their vision for computational medicine. In addition, submit the names of three references (who will not be contacted without prior consent) and complete the application at: division-chief-computational-med
