About this position
Stanford University’s Office of Postdoctoral Affairs is advertising an open postdoctoral position in the Buckwalter lab, led by faculty sponsor Marion Buckwalter, in the Department of Neurology and Neurological Sciences.
The lab studies chronic outcomes after stroke, with a particular focus on post-stroke cognitive decline. Research opportunities include both basic/translational and clinical projects, using mouse models and human studies. This is a strong fit for candidates interested in neuroscience, medical science, biology, and cognition-related research, especially those aiming for a career as a stroke researcher or physician-scientist.
Applicants must hold a doctorate (MD, PhD, or MD/PhD). The post emphasizes prior research experience in stroke or a related field, prior publications demonstrating high-quality research, and outstanding references. The ideal candidate should also have a clear interest in understanding long-term outcomes after stroke and developing therapies.
The appointment is for one year with anticipated renewal for a full postdoctoral term or until the next position is achieved. Compensation follows Stanford’s postdoctoral salary scale, with the FY27 minimum base pay listed as $79,056.
To apply, email a letter of intent, CV, and three references to [email protected]. In the letter, applicants should explain how they fit the criteria, what they hope to learn during the postdoc, their career goals, and whether they prefer a clinical or basic science project.
Funding details
Full funding including tuition fees and living expenses is available for this position. The scholarship covers all educational costs and provides a monthly stipend.
How to apply
