Open Faculty Positions

The Division of Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Nutrition in the Department of Pediatrics at Stanford University seeks a pediatric gastroenterologist with expertise in neurogastroenterology and motility.  The successful candidate will be appointed at the Clinical Assistant Professor, Clinical Associate Professor, or Clinical Professor rank in the Clinician Educator line. The major criterion for appointment, reappointment, and promotion for Clinician Educators is excellence in a combination of clinical care, teaching, and scholarly activity that advances clinical medicine.

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

Our comprehensive motility program offers a full breadth of services, including esophageal, antroduodenal, and colorectal manometry, pH-Multichannel Intraluminal Impedance monitoring, Endoluminal Functional Lumen Imaging Probe (EndoFLIP) and Percutaneous Electrical Nerve Field Stimulation (PENFS).

This position includes a significant and exciting opportunity for program development in novel therapies. Building on our experience with PENFS, the candidate will have the option to help develop and expand a clinical neurostimulation program. This may include exploring and implementing additional modalities such as gastric electrical stimulation and sacral nerve stimulation. Program development would be a collaborative effort with the current motility medical director, division leadership, and multidisciplinary partners. The specific modalities, scope of responsibilities, and dedicated resources will be tailored based on the candidate's expertise, interests, and institutional priorities.

Qualifications:

• M.D., D.O., M.D./Ph.D., or equivalent degree.
• Board certified or board eligible in Pediatric Gastroenterology.
