They will train within a collaborative, multi-disciplinary environment, as part of the Stanford O’Brien Urology Research Center.

  • Research experience in molecular/cell biology and cell culture
  • Proficiency in R and/or Python for data analysis is a plus
  • Record of research productivity and publication
