collaboration with the Director of the Translational Precision Mental Health Clinic using all
information gathered about a patient. This information may include results from cognitive testing,
blood tests, pharmacogenetic data, and functional MRI. The position will also entail the clinical
management of participants in research trials involving experimental and novel therapies,

conditions (e.g. pramipexole, guanfacine), and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). Ketamine

the Clinic, and be part of a thriving clinical translational team. Stanford is an equal employment opportunity and affirmative action employer. All qualified
