Faculty Positions

Faculty Position: Sensory Biologist/Clinician Scientist Assistant, Associate, or Full Professor

The Department of Otolaryngology — Head & Neck Surgery (OHNS) at Stanford University seeks a sensory biologist or clinician scientist (PhD or MD or equivalent) to join as a faculty member at the rank of assistant professor, associate professor or professor in the University Tenure Line, University Medical Line, or the Non-Tenure Line-Research. The Department of Otolaryngology — Head & Neck Surgery is highly interactive with research as a foundational component of its tripartite mission of clinical care, discovery-based research and teaching/mentoring. The department’s research interests encompass the broad field of Otolaryngology and range from basic science to translational and clinical research. We promote a team approach to research as supported by numerous collaborative projects as well as a well-resourced departmental core facility.

We are particularly interested in candidates who have experience with combining multiple approaches to (i) address fundamental biological questions about sensory systems such as hearing, balance, olfaction, and taste, and/or (ii) generating translational advances for treating sensory dysfunction. This search is open to a wide range of scientific expertise, including but not limited to structural, molecular, cellular, developmental and systems biology, behavioral neuroscience, and physiology from cell to system.

The predominant criterion for appointment in the University Tenure Line is a major commitment to research and teaching.

The major criteria for appointment for faculty in the University Medical Line shall be excellence in the overall mix of clinical care, clinical teaching, scholarly activity that advances clinical medicine, and institutional service appropriate to the programmatic need the individual is expected to fulfill.

The major criterion for appointment for faculty in the Non-tenure Line (Research) is evidence of high-level performance as a researcher for whose special knowledge a programmatic need exists.

 

Faculty rank and line will be determined by the qualifications and experience of the successful candidate.

Postdoctoral Positions

Postdoctoral Position in Aminoglycoside Ototoxicity Research

Our research group focuses on understanding the mechanisms of aminoglycoside ototoxicity. We are looking for highly motivated and skilled candidates to join a team of scientists investigating such mechanisms using mouse models.  This is a joint position in the Ricci and Cheng labs. Ongoing work involves the use of in vivo imaging, histology and auditory physiology.

Preference will be given to candidates with strong background in microscopy, histology, and whole animal physiology.

The successful applicant will join and benefit greatly from collaboration and interactions with outstanding researchers within and outside a consortium of inner ear researchers in our department, and also the neuroscience and bioengineering communities at Stanford. Positions available immediately with research funding provided.

Interested candidates are encouraged to apply by sending a cover letter, 3 references and resume to Alan Cheng at aglcheng@stanford.edu and Anthony Ricci aricci@stanford.edu

   

Postdoctoral Positions in Cheng Lab

The Cheng lab in the Research Division of the Department of Otolaryngology — Head & Neck Surgery, Stanford University, is interested in understanding the mechanisms of regeneration in the inner ear sensory organ. We have ongoing projects evaluating such mechanisms using mouse and human models. We are looking for 2 motivated and skilled candidates to participate.  Ongoing work involves the use of tissue cultures, time-lapse imaging, cellular and whole animal physiology, and single cell RNAseq.

Preference will be given to candidates with strong background in cell and molecular biology, animal work, and/or auditory physiology.

The successful applicant will join and benefit greatly from collaboration and interactions with outstanding researchers within and outside of this group. Positions available immediately with research funding provided.

Interested candidates are encouraged to apply by sending a cover letter and resume to Alan Cheng at aglcheng@stanford.edu or 650-868-6338.

   

Postdoctoral Positions in Ó Maoiléidigh Lab

The Ó Maoiléidigh lab in the Research Division of the Department of Otolaryngology — Head & Neck Surgery, Stanford University, is seeking two Postdoctoral Scholars. We are seeking two highly-motivated scientists to work on a multidisciplinary team studying the mechanics and physiology of the inner ear in collaboration with the Ricci and Grillet labs.

Position 1: (Theory) Cell mechanics, fluid mechanics, and stochastic dynamical systems.

Position 2: (Experiment) Single-cell biophysics, physiology, and imaging.

Postdoctoral Positions in Grillet Lab

The Grillet lab in the Research Division of the Department of Otolaryngology — Head & Neck Surgery, Stanford University, is recruiting a postdoctoral fellow to work on the molecular mechanisms of sound detection. The hair cells of the inner ear have a mechanotransduction organelle, the hair bundle that is sensitive to minuscule motion. We analyze deaf mutant mice to investigate the role of the mutated genes in sound detection.

The Grillet lab has expertise in molecular and cellular aspects of the hair bundle function, and in fluorescence and electronic microscopy (scanning, transmission, FIB…) (Trouillet et al, 2021, Journal of Neuroscience.; Wu & Grillet et al., Nature Neuroscience, 2017; Grillet et al., Neuron, 2009).

Postdoctoral Position in Sunwoo Lab

The Sunwoo lab in the Research Division of the Department of Otolaryngology — Head & Neck Surgery, Stanford University, studies the interaction between tumor cells and the host immune system. Current research includes: understanding the role of innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) and NK cells in the context of cancer; understanding how epigenetic changes in the tumor microenvironment modulate immune responses; and understanding tumor-intrinsic mechanisms driving immune response and/or evasion. Our lab is also actively developing novel therapeutic approaches to enhance the immune control of malignant cell growth.

We are looking for someone interested in a postdoctoral fellowship to pursue studies using primary patient samples and novel in vivo and in vitro model systems.
