Job description

The Division of Tri-Valley Neurology in the Department of Neurology at Stanford University seeks a board‑eligible or board‑certified neurologist to join the Department as a Clinical Assistant Professor, Clinical Associate Professor, or Clinical Professor in the Clinician Educator Line.

The major criterion for appointment in the Clinician Educator Line is excellence in the overall mix of clinical care, teaching, administrative and/or scholarship appropriate to the programmatic need the individual is expected to fulfill.

Responsibilities are expected to include care of general and subspecialty neurology patients, and teaching of medical students, residents, and clinical fellows. Faculty will work in our hospital and clinics at Stanford Health Care TriValley (SHC‑TriValley) in Pleasanton, California. While the primary focus will be on clinical duties at SHC‑TriValley, opportunities for involvement at other clinical locations, including Emeryville and Palo Alto, can be explored depending on the candidate’s interests and clinical needs at these sites. Opportunities are also available to participate in research, quality improvement, and development of innovative care programs.

Qualifications

The successful applicant should have an MD or equivalent, be board‑certified or board‑eligible (ABPN), and must have or obtain a California medical license.

We are particularly interested in candidates who have fellowship training, or additional background in Comprehensive Neurology, Headache, and Memory Disorders. Candidates must demonstrate commitment to teaching students, residents, and fellows. Candidates must also have excellent communication skills and an ability to work collaboratively with other departments and disciplines.

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 values.
