The Department of Biology at Stanford University is searching for a tenure-track Assistant Professor working broadly in the field of neurobiology. A successful candidate would ask fundamental questions relevant to the nervous system at any levels of investigation—structural, molecular, cellular, developmental, systems-level, computational, or any combination thereof. The strongest candidates will synergize not only with the existing neurobiology groups in our department and with the strength of the Stanford Wu Tsai Neuroscience Institute, but also with Cell, Molecular, and Organismal researchers in our department at large, taking advantage of the unique environment of the broad scope of our Department. Applicants should have a Ph.D. degree or equivalent.
Candidates should apply through Stanford Faculty Positions and submit

- contact information for three letters of recommendation
The Biology Department, School of Humanities and Sciences, and Stanford University value faculty who are committed to advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion. Candidates may optionally include as part of their teaching statement a brief discussion of how their work may further these ideals.
