The Department of Otolaryngology — Head & Neck Surgery (OHNS) at Stanford University seeks a sensory biologist or clinician scientist (PhD or MD or equivalent) to join as a faculty member at the rank of assistant professor, associate professor or professor in the University Tenure Line, University Medical Line, or the Non-Tenure Line-Research. The Department of Otolaryngology — Head & Neck Surgery is highly interactive with research as a foundational component of its tripartite mission of clinical care, discovery-based research and teaching/mentoring. The 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 as supported by numerous collaborative projects as well as a well-resourced departmental core facility.
We are particularly interested in candidates who have experience with combining multiple approaches to (i) address fundamental biological questions about sensory systems such as hearing, balance, olfaction, and taste, and/or (ii) generating translational advances for treating sensory dysfunction. This search is open to a wide range of scientific expertise, including but not limited to structural, molecular, cellular, developmental and systems biology, behavioral neuroscience, and physiology from cell to system.
