About the role

The Department of Pathology at Stanford University is one of the leading academic pathology departments in the US with approximately 120 faculty, among whom are a Nobel laureate, HHMI investigators, multiple members of the National Academies, and many faculty with other national distinctions. Stanford Pathology research has areas of focus that include anatomic and clinical pathology, immunology, genetics, cancer research, and neuroscience. We seek an innovative faculty member who will independently and collaboratively inspire and train the next generation of academic pathologists.

Their 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, post-doctoral and clinical fellows, and research scientists. Appointment is based on evidence or the promise of high-level performance in research, and, if applicable, teaching. The initial term of appointment will be four years. This appointment is coterminous with continued salary and other research support from sponsored research projects.
Applicants should submit a curriculum vitae, a cover letter, a one-page research statement, a one-page teaching statement, and a one-page list of references to: Faculty Positions Application Link. Applications will be accepted and reviewed until the position is filled.
