The Institute for Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine (ISCBRM) at Stanford University seeks qualified applicants to apply to join the ISCBRM for a full-time position at the rank of Assistant Professor in the University Tenure line. The ISCBRM recognizes the importance of basic biomedical research and the development of translational applications in the broad field of stem cell biology and regenerative medicine. We are particularly interested in candidates whose research areas include one or more of the following: single cell studies and methods, in vivo manipulation of cell fate and properties, and immunologic recognition and tolerance in stem cell biology.

The predominant criterion for appointment in the University Tenure Line is a major commitment to research and teaching. The successful candidate must have achieved, or have the promise to achieve, true distinction in research. The successful candidate must also show promise – or a record demonstrating – that the candidate is capable of sustaining a first-rate teaching program during his or her career at Stanford. Excellence in clinical practice or clinical care is a requirement for those candidates whose duties include such practice.

The successful applicant should have a PhD and/or MD, and postdoctoral fellowship in stem cell biology and regenerative medicine or related areas. Applicants should have completed housestaff training (where applicable) and, additionally, one to two years of postdoctoral research experience. Their accomplishments during graduate and postgraduate training should already have stamped them as creative and promising investigators. If these individuals have not had formal teaching experience, they should have demonstrated during their postdoctoral training a commitment to developing the skills necessary for first-rate teaching.

We expect the successful candidate to establish a vigorous and innovative research program in addition to teaching trainees, including graduate students, as part of the Institute's Interdisciplinary PhD Training Program in Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine. The successful applicant's research program will be housed in the Lorry I. Lokey Building for Stem Cell Research, which provides an outstanding collaborative environment for basic investigation into stem cell biology in addition to the development of candidate therapeutics. The Lokey Building also contains, or is nearby, core facilities with key enabling technologies and resources.

Stanford is an equal employment opportunity and affirmative action employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, protected veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law. Stanford also welcomes applications from others who would bring additional dimensions to the University’s research, teaching and clinical missions.

The ISCBRM, School of Medicine, and Stanford University value faculty who will help foster an inclusive academic environment for colleagues, students, and staff with a wide range of backgrounds, identities, and outlooks. Candidates may choose to include as part of their research and teaching statements a brief discussion about how their work and experience will further these ideals. Additional information about Stanford's IDEAL initiative may be found here: https://ideal.stanford.edu/about-ideal.

Please submit your CV, a brief research statement of no more than three pages, and three letters of reference to: https://facultypositions.stanford.edu/en-us/job/494713/assistant-professor-in-stem-cell-biology-and-regenerative-medicine.

Job title, available positions
Team Leader (Principal Investigator), 2 positions

Job description
We are currently seeking outstanding neuroscientists for Team Leader positions (junior principal investigators). However, exceptional applications from internationally established neuroscientists may be considered. The new Team Leader will manage a laboratory including researchers and support staff. We are seeking a broad range of applicants in the fields of brain science and related fields, but researchers in the following research areas are particularly encouraged to apply.

Research Area (1): Research that contributes to the elucidation of the molecular mechanisms of neurological/psychiatric disorders and/or to the development of diagnostic and therapeutic methods.
Research Area (2): Neuroscience research with a focus on theoretical areas, including but not limited to elucidating the neural basis of human sociality and/or its AI applications.

In order to further promote diversity, which is one of CBS's strengths, we proactively recruit women when the candidate's research skills are otherwise deemed equal.

The goal of CBS is to understand the neuroscientific basis of the "mind" (encompassing the brain mechanisms of intelligence, emotion, and sociality) and its pathology through research that integrates multiple levels from genes to behavior. We focus on research involving animal models using multi-level brain measurement techniques and human research combining non-invasive brain imaging with psychology and behavioral science, with an emphasis on understanding fundamental brain mechanisms that are common to humans and animals. We seek to transform brain science by harnessing data and advanced computational methods, including AI and quantum technology. In addition, as a part of a Japan-wide brain initiative (Brain/MINDS 2.0The webpage will open in a new tab.), we will promote the understanding of brain function and disease pathology through the development and use of advanced computational brain models ("digital brain").

Qualification

  • University graduates with a PhD, MD or equivalent degree
  • Ability to conduct world-class research by taking advantage of the excellent research environments of CBS and RIKEN
  • Possess exceptional scientific leadership skills and laboratory management ability

Work location
RIKEN Center for Brain Science (2-1 Hirosawa, Wako, Saitama 351-0198)
