Developmental Biology Faculty in Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery

About the role

The Department of Otolaryngology - Head & Neck Surgery at Stanford University seeks a developmental biologist (PhD or MD) with interest in neurosensory biology to join the OHNS Department as Assistant Professor, Associate Professor or Professor in the University Tenure Line (UTL), University Medical Line (UML) or Non-Tenure Line-Research (NTL-R).

We are particularly interested in candidates who have a strong background in stem cell biology and experience with combining multiple approaches, such as in vitro organoid methodologies and in vivo models, to investigate the development of sensory organs of the head and neck and to understand disorders of the hearing, vestibular, and/or olfactory systems.

Investigators studying other developmental processes relevant to otolaryngology and structures of the head and neck, such as craniofacial development and neoplasia, are also highly encouraged to apply.

Responsibilities

• Conduct independent research in the field of neurosensory biology, using stem cell biology and organoid methodologies.
• Develop and maintain collaborations with other researchers and clinicians within and outside of Stanford.
• Teach and mentor graduate students and postdoctoral scholars.
• Publish research findings in high-impact journals and present at scientific conferences.
• Engage in grant writing and secure funding for research projects.

Requirements

• A PhD or MD degree in developmental biology, neuroscience, or a related field.
• Strong publication record in peer-reviewed journals.
• Experience with stem cell biology and organoid methodologies.
• Ability to work independently and as part of a team.
• Excellent communication and teaching skills.

Qualifications

• Expertise in neurosensory biology and stem cell biology.
• Experience with in vitro organoid methodologies and in vivo models.
• Interest in craniofacial development and neoplasia.

Skills

• Strong research skills and ability to design and execute experiments.
• Excellent organizational and time management skills.
• Effective communication and collaboration skills.
