The Department of Ophthalmology at Stanford University seeks highly qualified candidates for full time faculty positions in the University Tenure Line or the Non-tenure Line (Research) at the level of Assistant, Associate, or full Professor. Faculty rank and salary will be commensurate with qualifications and experience.
· The predominant criterion for appointment in the University Tenure Line is a major commitment to research and teaching.
· The major criterion for appointment for faculty in the Non-tenure Line (Research) is evidence of high-level performance as a researcher for whose special knowledge a programmatic need exists.
· The candidate should hold a PhD, MD-PhD, or equivalent degree including OD, in a related field.
Faculty or academic rank and line will be determined by the qualifications and experience of the successful candidate.
We seek outstanding applicants with demonstrated research distinction. The strongest candidates will be scientists or physician-scientists who demonstrate a track record of, or commitment to, a career incorporating scholarly activity, either laboratory-based or human subjects research, including evidence of success with external peer review and funding. Candidates’ program and goals should emphasize ocular- or vision-related research, broadly defined.
Applications will be reviewed beginning September 1, 2021 and accepted until October 31, 2021.
