Developmental Biology Faculty in Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery

About the Role

The Department of Otolaryngology — Head & Neck Surgery at Stanford University seeks a developmental biologist (PhD or MD) to join as faculty in one of the following lines: University Tenure Line (UTL), University Medical Line (UML), or Non-Tenure Line-Research (NTL-R).

We are particularly interested in candidates with a strong background in stem cell biology and experience 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 encouraged to apply.

The predominant criterion for appointment in the University Tenure Line is a major commitment to research and teaching. For the University Medical Line, excellence in clinical care, clinical teaching, scholarly activity advancing clinical medicine, and institutional service is required. For the Non-Tenure Line (Research), the major criterion is high-level performance as a researcher addressing a programmatic need. Faculty rank and line will be determined by the qualifications and experience of the successful candidate.

Responsibilities

• Conduct research in developmental biology, with a focus on neurosensory biology, stem cell biology, or related areas relevant to otolaryngology.
• Utilize in vitro organoid methodologies and in vivo models to study sensory organ development and disorders of the hearing, vestibular, and/or olfactory systems.
• Actively participate in departmental research events, seminars, and formal teaching and training opportunities.
• For senior candidates: Demonstrate leadership in the field, including a strong track record in publishing and securing funding.

Requirements

• PhD, MD, or equivalent degree.
• Scientific expertise, teaching experience, and accomplishments commensurate with the desired faculty rank.
• Strong background in stem cell biology and/or developmental processes relevant to otolaryngology.
• Experience with in vitro organoid methodologies and in vivo models is highly desirable.

Pay

The expected base pay range for a basic scientist position is:

• Assistant Professor: $196,000 – $214,000
• Associate Professor: $231,000 - $255,000
• Professor: $282,000 - $312,000

The expected base pay range for a clinician scientist position is:

• Assistant Professor: $317,000 – $329,000
• Associate Professor: $349,000 - $361,000
• Professor: $382,000 - $388,000

This pay range reflects base pay only and does not include additional components of the School of Medicine’s faculty compensation program or pay from departmental incentive compensation programs. The final offer will be determined based on factors such as experience, qualifications, internal equity, and market pay for comparable roles.
