Position Description
Internal or Family Medicine Physician
Clinical Assistant Professor
Center for Precision Mental Health and Wellness, Translational Precision Mental Health Clinic
Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences
Stanford University School of Medicine
The Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at the Stanford University School of
Medicine is seeking a full-time faculty member to provide clinical care in a new initiative for
personalized, biologically-based psychiatry that aligns with the School of Medicine’s focus on
precision health and the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Science’s focus on precision
mental health.
We are seeking physicians motivated by the opportunity to focus their expertise in a setting in
which biological insights about mood disorders are directly translated from research to clinic.
Physician applicants must have a medical degree or equivalent degree, completed training in
Internal or Family Medicine with a particular interest in mental health, especially mood disorders.
Applicants will possess or be fully eligible for a California medical license. Duties of this position
entail reviewing prior medical and psychiatric records, conducting physical exams and measuring
vital signs, performing comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, and developing a treatment plan in
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,
including ketamine, Schedule I substances, medications that are FDA-approved for other
conditions (e.g. pramipexole, guanfacine), and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). Ketamine
administration will require starting IV lines. The physician will work closely with the Director of
the Clinic, and be part of a thriving clinical translational team.
Stanford is an equal employment opportunity and affirmative action employer. All qualified
applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex,
sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, protected veteran status, or any other
