Pediatric Gastroenterologist with Expertise in Neurogastroenterology and Motility
About The Position
Stanford University’s Division of Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Nutrition in the Department of Pediatrics seeks a pediatric gastroenterologist with expertise in neurogastroenterology and motility. The successful candidate will be appointed in the Clinician Educator line at the Clinical Assistant Professor, Clinical Associate Professor, or Clinical Professor rank, based on their qualifications and experience.
