Stanford University School of Medicine: Faculty Position (Open Rank) in the Department of Otolaryngology — Head & Neck Surgery
The Department of Otolaryngology — Head & Neck Surgery (OHNS) at Stanford University seeks a sensory biologist or clinician scientist (PhD or MD or equivalent) to join as a faculty member at the rank of assistant professor, associate professor or professor in the University Tenure Line, University Medical Line, or the Non-Tenure Line-Research. The Department of Otolaryngology — Head & Neck Surgery is highly interactive with research as a foundational component of its tripartite mission of clinical care, discovery-based research and teaching/mentoring. The department’s research interests encompass the broad field of Otolaryngology and range from basic science to translational and clinical research. We promote a team approach to research as supported by numerous collaborative projects as well as a well-resourced departmental core facility.
We are particularly interested in candidates who have experience with combining multiple approaches to (i) address fundamental biological questions about sensory systems such as hearing, balance, olfaction, and taste, and/or (ii) generating translational advances for treating sensory dysfunction.
This search is open to a wide range of scientific expertise, including but not limited to structural, molecular, cellular, developmental and systems biology, behavioral neuroscience, and physiology from cell to system.
Faculty rank and line will be determined by the qualifications and experience of the successful candidate.

Harvard University - Teaching Fellows/Assistants Needed for Fall 2024 (Several positions listed below)
The Department of Stem Cell and Regenerative Biology is looking for instructional support for their undergraduate courses for the spring semester. They require teaching assistants/fellows who will work with the course instructor and attend lectures, as well as (if necessary) run section meetings, hold office hours, grade exams/papers, and meet with students. (Please note that if you are on an H1B visa, you are ineligible to teach.)
Details for the courses for which they are hiring can be found below:

SCRB 111: Regeneration: Phenomena to Mechanisms
Course Description: Multicellular organisms are all equipped with the ability to cope with injuries, but the extent to which they naturally replace entire missing structures varies greatly across species. This course will use both classical and current primary literature to explore the fascinating process of regeneration across phyla. Students will learn to distill questions into specific, key experiments; to design experiments with meaningful controls; and to use data to refine, reformulate, and develop new hypotheses. We will analyze both invertebrate and vertebrate examples from the animal kingdom. By the end of the course, students will be able to propose new experiments designed to illuminate outstanding questions in regenerative biology using modern techniques.
Additional Details: Looking for a TF/TA who is motivated by scientific communication so that we can launch the public-facing component of the course website, which will feature student videos, as part of a project which is funded by the NSF.
If interested, please contact the Program Administrator, Maria Para (mariapara@fas.harvard.edu) with an up-to-date CV.
Instructor: Jessica Whited
Lecture: TuThu 1:30pm-2:45pm
Location: TBA
Dates of appointment: 08/01/2024-12/31/2024

SCRB 145: From Cells to Tissues, in Sickness and Health
Course Description: Every cell is a part of a larger “community”, working together to enable tissue function. This course will explore the principles of building complex tissues from cells. How do cells know what tissues to make and when to make them? How do cells communicate with one another? What diseases can arise when these principles go awry? How can we build tissues in the lab? In addition to lectures, students will engage deeply in primary literature.
Additional Details: If interested, please contact the Program Administrator, Maria Para (mariapara@fas.harvard.edu) with an up-to-date CV.
Instructor: Ya-Chieh Hsu

SCRB 190: Understanding Aging: Degeneration, Regeneration, and the Scientific Search for the Fountain of Youth
Course Description: This lecture and discussion course will explore the fundamental molecular and cellular mechanisms that govern organismal aging and consider new and emerging strategies to delay or reverse this process.
Additional Details: If interested, please contact the Program Administrator, Maria Para (mariapara@fas.harvard.edu) with an up-to-date CV.
Instructor: Amy Wagers
Lecture: MW 12:00pm-1:15pm

SCRB 10: Human Developmental and Regenerative Biology
Course Description: SCRB 10 is the introductory course in the Human Developmental and Regenerative Biology undergraduate concentration. Throughout the semester, students learn fundamental concepts in developmental and cell biology within the framework of the developing mammal, focusing on humans where possible. Students will learn to design experiments to test a hypothesis, critically analyze data, and draw conclusions based on presented data. The class is structured around 3 lectures a week and 1 discussion section. Teaching fellows/assistants lead the discussions sections and hold weekly office hours.
Additional Details: If interested, please contact the Curriculum and Pedagogy Manager, Lauren Sullivan (laurensullivan@fas.harvard.edu) with an up-to-date CV.

SCRB 197/297: Frontiers in Therapeutics
Course Description: New medical therapies promise to change not only quality of life and life expectancy, but even what it means to be human. And yet huge gaps remain between fundamental sciences and translation to the clinic. We will explore traditional and cutting-edge themes in therapeutics and their applicability to medical needs. Discussions range from understanding the mechanism of action of today’s drugs to the possibilities for changing the very nature of our brains and genomes, along with the ethical dilemmas these opportunities bring with them. By engaging in active discussions with leading scientists and biotechnologists, students will garner insight into how advances in fundamental science can be translated into new therapeutics, along with the limitations faced.
Additional Details: MD or MD/PhD TAs preferred.
