Open Faculty Positions

The Department of Radiation Oncology at Stanford University seeks a board eligible or board-certified radiation oncologist to join the Department in the Clinician Educator line (open rank). We are particularly interested in candidates who have interest and experience with treating gastrointestinal (GI) and genitourinary (GU) cancers.  

The major criterion for appointment as Clinician Educators is excellence in the overall mix of clinical care, teaching, administrative and/or scholarship appropriate to the programmatic need the individual is expected to fulfill. Academic rank will be determined by the qualifications and experience of the successful candidate.

The successful applicant must have an M.D., completed their residency in an ACGME-accredited program, and have medical licensure in California by the start date. Demonstrated clinical experience in multi-modality treatment planning (e.g., PET, 4D CT, MRI), image guided radiotherapy (IGRT) and stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) and stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS), is expected, along with a track record of clinical research. Experience in managing and treatment of GI and GU malignancies is desired.  For GU oncology, the ideal candidate will have an interest in the multidisciplinary management of advanced prostate cancer in close collaboration with medical oncology. Clinical interests will include prostate-directed radiotherapy for selected patients with de novo metastatic disease, metastasis-directed SBRT for oligometastatic disease, consolidative radiotherapy to residual sites after systemic therapy, and palliative radiotherapy. For GI oncology, the ideal candidate will lead multidisciplinary management of complex GI cancers and oversee advanced radiotherapy procedures with a particular focus on adaptive SBRT.

The successful candidate will have access to dedicated physics support from Stanford Radiation Oncology Medical Physics faculty, cutting-edge technology including proton therapy and MR-guided systems, robust clinical trial opportunities, clear academic advancement pathways at a top-ranked medical school, collaborative opportunities with renowned multidisciplinary teams across Stanford and Silicon Valley’s innovation ecosystem, and an exceptional quality of life in the Bay Area.

 The activities of the Department are diverse and include a strong basic science and translational research program. The department is fully integrated into the medical school and university, with many opportunities for collaborative research within Stanford Cancer Institute, a National Cancer Institute Designated Comprehensive Cancer Center. Stanford Cancer Center Palo Alto has earned full accreditation through ASTRO’s APEx (Accreditation Program for Excellence).

 Applications will be reviewed beginning July 2, 2026 and accepted until position is filled.
