Assistant or Associate Professor

The Department of Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine at Stanford University seeks an investigator in the area of bioinformatics to join the Department as Assistant Professor or Associate Professor in the Non-Tenure Line (Research).

• 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 will be determined by the qualifications and experience of the successful candidate.

Additional requirements include completion of a doctoral degree (M.D. or Ph.D.) and one or two years of postdoctoral research experience. The successful candidate’s accomplishments during graduate and postgraduate training should already have stamped them as creative and promising investigators. There should be evidence of the ability to obtain external funding as well as the promise of outstanding performance as a supervisor of graduate students. Appointment is based on evidence of (or the promise of) high-level performance in research, and (if applicable) teaching and clinical care.

The successful applicant should be in a strong position to develop or already have developed an academic program in bioinformatics relevant to the field of anesthesia. There is particular interest in programs focusing on the analysis of complex datasets containing biological and clinical information that might elucidate mechanisms related to poor surgical outcomes, chronic post-surgical pain, inflammation, infection, risks of medical complications or poor cognitive recovery. Candidates should be collaborative and able to work with both laboratory and clinical data.

Stanford University is an equal opportunity employer and is committed to increasing the diversity of its faculty. It welcomes nominations of and applications from women, members of minority groups, protected veterans and individuals with disabilities, as well as from others who would bring additional dimensions to the university’s research, teaching and clinical missions.
