Assistant, Associate, or Full Professor in the Department of Medicine

Stanford University

Stanford Prevention Research Center (SPRC)

In Community-based research

The Stanford Prevention Research Center, an interdisciplinary research division in the Department of Medicine, is seeking one new faculty member at the Full or Associate or Assistant Professor level in the University Tenure Line or Non-Tenure Line (Research).  Both physicians and non-physicians are encouraged to apply for this research-intensive, full-time faculty position. Competitive start-up funding will be tailored to the needs of the successful applicant. Candidates should exhibit a track record of excellence in research and, at the more senior levels, should have a national and international reputation. At the more junior level, candidates should exhibit the potential to become top national and international caliber researchers.  In addition, they should already demonstrate autonomy in developing their own research agenda. Independent grant funding (or, for more junior candidates, the potential to successfully secure regular research funding), publication record, and programmatic synergy with members of SPRC will be considered. SPRC is interested in recruiting an innovative researcher with focus on several of the following areas: community and multi-level interventions, community-based participatory research and health behavior interventions, health disparities, socioeconomically disadvantaged and/or under-represented minority populations, translation of research into policy and public health practice, study of health and the physical and social environments, and innovative methods in community-based research. We expect the successful candidate to actively contribute to the programs and collaborative activities of the SPRC.

Rank will be determined by the qualifications and experience of the successful candidate. 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 and expertise that fulfills a programmatic need.

Interested candidates should send a copy of their curriculum vitae, a brief letter outlining their interests and the names of three references electronically to: Marisha Smith, Faculty Affairs Specialist, at mrmayo@stanford.edu
