Postdoctoral Scholars
Welcome to Stanford University!
Stanford University, located between San Francisco and San Jose in the heart of California's Silicon Valley, is one of the world's leading teaching and research universities. Since its opening in 1891, Stanford has been dedicated to finding solutions to big challenges and to preparing students for leadership in a complex world.
Stanford OHNS research laboratories are at the forefront of innovative bioscience and technology. Basic, translational, and clinical research programs that have been developed encompass all of the sub-specialties of OHNS. The cardinal goal of Stanford OHNS is to conduct research on issues relevant to human disease. Our culture seeks to maximize collaboration among basic scientists, engineers, and clinicians to address important translational research questions.
