Savvy Admin PROD

Stanford University is seeking a Program Coordinator to administer and support complex programs or functions within the Department of Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences at the School of Medicine under general supervision.

The YogaX program is an innovative initiative within Stanford Psychiatry that integrates yoga, neuroscience, and psychology to bring evidence-informed yoga practices into healthcare and community settings. YogaX operates across educational, clinical, and research domains, delivering programs through in-person, virtual, and asynchronous formats, and engaging a diverse network of faculty, healthcare professionals, trainees, and external partners.
