About the position

The Department of Ophthalmology at Stanford University is seeking a highly qualified candidate for the position of Assistant, Associate, or Full Professor in either the University Tenure or Non-Tenure Line. This role is particularly suited for individuals who possess a PhD, MD-PhD, or an equivalent degree such as OD, in a relevant field. The primary focus of this position is to contribute significantly to research and teaching within the department. For those appointed in the University Tenure Line, a major commitment to research and teaching is essential. Conversely, candidates for the Non-Tenure Line (Research) must demonstrate high-level performance as a researcher, with a clear programmatic need for their specialized knowledge. The faculty rank and line will be determined based on the qualifications and experience of the successful candidate. The ideal candidate will exhibit research distinction, with a strong preference for scientists or clinician-scientists who have a proven track record or a commitment to a career that includes scholarly activity, whether it be laboratory-based or involving human subjects research. Evidence of success or potential for success in securing external peer review and funding is highly desired. Candidates should focus their program and goals on ocular or vision-related research, broadly defined. Applications will be reviewed starting in September and will continue until the position is filled. Stanford University is committed to equal employment opportunity and affirmative action, ensuring that all qualified applicants receive consideration for employment without discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, protected veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law. The department values faculty who contribute to an inclusive academic environment and encourages candidates to discuss how their work and experiences align with these ideals in their research and teaching statements.
