Job Description
Assistant Professor in Neuroscience
The Department of Biology at Stanford University is searching for a tenure-track Assistant Professor working broadly in the field of neuroscience. A successful candidate would develop a strong teaching and research program, with the research addressing fundamental questions relevant to the nervous system at any levels of investigation—structural, molecular, cellular, developmental, systems-level, computational, or any combination thereof. The strongest candidates will synergize not only with the existing neurobiology groups in our department and with the strength of the Stanford Wu Tsai Neuroscience Institute, but also with Cell, Molecular, and Organismal researchers in our department at large, taking advantage of the unique environment of the broad scope of our department. Applicants must have a Ph.D. degree (or equivalent) at the time of the appointment and will be expected to teach and advise students at both the graduate and undergraduate levels.
Candidates should apply through Stanford Faculty Positions and submit
a cover letter
curriculum vitae (including a complete publication list)
a research statement (not to exceed 3 pages) that describes the applicant’s prior and current research and their vision and plans for future research.
a teaching statement (not to exceed 1 page) on their teaching and mentorship philosophy, approach, and experience
contact information for three letters of recommendation
The Biology Department, School of Humanities and Sciences, and Stanford University value faculty who will help foster an inclusive academic environment for colleagues, students, and staff with a wide range of backgrounds, identities, and outlooks. 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 ideals.
The expected base pay range for this position is $128,000 - $152,000 for academic year
Stanford University has provided a pay range representing its good faith estimate of what the university reasonably expects to pay for the position. The pay offered to the selected candidate will be determined based on factors including (but not limited to) the qualifications of the selected candidate, budget availability, and internal equity.
Interested candidates should apply by October 15, 2024, for full consideration. The appointment will begin in Academic Year 2025/26.
