ASSISTANT or ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR BASIC AND TRANSLATIONAL NEUROSCIENCE NON-TENURE LINE (RESEARCH)

Institution: Stanford University Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences

Position Description: The Department is currently seeking two full-time Professoriate faculty members at the rank of Assistant or Associate Professor in the Non-Tenure Line (Research).  These are positions for bench scientists who are specializing in basic and translational scholarly research that significantly advances understanding of the neurophysiological and/or genetic underpinnings of psychiatric illness, as well as psychological resilience and capacity for stress.

The chosen candidate will be expected to engage in translational scholarly research and teaching in areas including, but not limited to, psychiatric genetics, animal models of psychiatric dysfunction and preclinical studies centered on the development of innovative psychiatric treatments targeting social aspects of mental health and contributors to disability such as social functioning and/or resilience to stress among other areas of bench research.

Candidates must hold a doctoral-level degree and have stamped themselves as creative and promising investigators with proven ability to obtain external funding, as well as outstanding performance, or promise for outstanding performance, as a teacher and mentor.

Wu Tsai Human Performance Alliance Clinician-Scientist Fellowship

Institution: Stanford University

Program: Wu Tsai Human Performance Alliance

Position Description: The Wu Tsai Human Performance Alliance Clinician-Scientist Program is focused on supporting clinician-scientists who will advance our understanding of human performance through the design of novel, clinically relevant research studies which can then lead to high-impact innovations in clinical practice. This program has the unique focus of advancing human performance research and offers physicians:

• 2-year fellowship with an interdisciplinary mentor team 
• Financial and training support for clinical trainees to have dedicated research experience (≥75% of overall full time equivalent)
• Opportunity to apply for additional travel funds and open-access publication funds

Through this experience, fellows gain the skills and confidence to conduct independent research alongside a clinical practice. It is a unique opportunity that allows fellows to devote significant time to independent research, expand their clinical and research networks, and build connections across human performance communities.

The Wu Tsai Human Performance Alliance supports research that aims to uncover biological principles governing peak performance and translate these findings to improve health for all. We focus on peak performance and note this distinction from many other institutes that focus on disease mechanisms and medicine (e.g., the National Institutes of Health). Our definition of performance is broad, including both physical and cognitive performance.
