The Department of Neurobiology at Stanford University invites applications for a tenure-track position as an Assistant Professor in any area of neuroscience, broadly defined. In this position, you will enjoy dynamic colleagues and mentors in your academic department and the broader multidisciplinary community of the Wu Tsai Neuroscience Institute. In this context, you will develop an outstanding neuroscience research program and contribute to the education and mentoring of the next generation of scientists.

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