The Clinical Instructorship is a one-year appointment, July 1 though June 30, with the possibility of a one-year extension for exceptional performance. This position is intended to supplement the core residency training in neurosurgery by providing advanced knowledge and skills of the management of patients with brain tumors, as well as protected time to complete a research project and submit a mentored (e.g., K12, K08) or independent (e.g., R01, U01) federal award.

Applicants are encouraged to apply early to allow time for grant submissions prior to the Instructorship. Strong candidates will be senior US neurosurgery residents with a strong track record of academic productivity, and solid plans to transition to an independent neurosurgeon-scientist career. Independent clinical responsibilities will be balanced with 50% protected research time at Stanford University. Additional didactics and conferences are included.

Applications are accepted on a rolling basis. Please send a letter of interest and CV to mghayden@stanford.edu.
