Sarafan ChEM-H is an independent institute at Stanford University, formed in partnership with the Schools of Medicine, Humanities and Sciences, and Engineering. More information about the institute can be found on . The institute is seeking applicants for a tenure-track faculty position at the junior level (Assistant or untenured Associate Professor) with research programs that exist at the interface between molecular science and computation. Applicants are expected to have earned a Ph.D. degree in computer science, computational biology, bioinformatics, or a related discipline in science, engineering or medicine.
We will consider applicants who propose innovative computational approaches to create new insights at the interface of chemistry, biology, engineering and medicine, with research programs that would fit in a department in the School of Engineering. Areas of particular interest include developing tools and technologies to better understand and predict the behavior of biological systems at the molecular or cellular scale; building and deploying computational or machine learning strategies in drug design or development; and other research programs that align with both molecular and computational sciences.
The successful candidate will have their primary appointment in a department in the School of Engineering. They will be expected to teach within this department in a manner that is consistent with standard practices for tenure-track faculty within that department. The candidate will also be expected to develop a world-class research program in molecular scale science. Applicants should be seeking a stimulating interdisciplinary environment in which to pursue teaching and research. We anticipate that the faculty member will develop interactions with faculty not only in the Department of Computer Science but also in other departments and Schools at Stanford and at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory.
Applications should be addressed to Professor Polly Fordyce, Search Committee Chair, and include:
(1) a curriculum vitae (including research accomplishments, teaching experience, and publications)
(2) a description of future research plans (4 pages, plus an additional 1 page for references)
(3) a description of future teaching and mentoring plans/philosophies (1 page)
(4) names and contact information of three referees who will be contacted to submit letters
Sarafan ChEM-H is a hub of innovation that leverages the power of diversity to improve human health: diversity of disciplines—life, physical and clinical sciences—and most importantly, diversity of people. Sarafan ChEM-H, the Vice Provost and Dean of Research, and Stanford University value faculty who are committed to advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion. Candidates may optionally include as part of their research or teaching statement a brief discussion of how their work may further these ideals.
All materials should be submitted online through the Stanford Faculty Positions website:
To ensure full consideration, applications should be submitted by October 15, 2025. Note that Questions should be addressed to Professor Fordyce at chemh_facultyaffairs@stanford.edu .
