Job Description

The Department of Urology at Stanford University seeks a board-certified or board-eligible urologist with subspecialty training in genitourinary reconstructive surgery (GURS) and gender-affirming surgery to join the Department as Clinical Assistant Professor in the Clinician Educator (CE) line.

The faculty position will develop a clinical practice focused on complex genitourinary reconstruction and gender-affirming urologic surgery. The candidate will join an established multidisciplinary gender-affirming surgery program that brings together urologic surgery, plastic & reconstructive surgery, gynecologic surgery, and additional specialties, as well as the opportunity to help shape the program’s growth.

The role offers the opportunity to contribute to a high-volume, academically oriented reconstructive urology practice within a leading academic medical center. The practice location will be at Stanford Healthcare including Stanford’s main campus and Stanford’s Redwood City campus.

This is an excellent opportunity to be part of one of the nation’s premier academic departments at Stanford University, where clinical excellence, research innovation, and outstanding education are at the core of our mission.

If these individuals have not had formal teaching experience, they should have demonstrated a commitment to develop the skills necessary for outstanding teaching.

The candidate will engage in teaching and serve as an integral member of our training programs and will have an opportunity to contribute to clinical research alongside nationally recognized urology faculty.
