Summary

Moffitt Cancer Center, a National Cancer Institute-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center on the campus of the University of South Florida (USF) in Tampa, is seeking an associate or senior level faculty member to co-lead its research program in Health Outcomes and Behavior (HOB), which is part of the Division of Population Science.

The HOB Program currently comprises 42 faculty members from Moffitt and USF.  The overarching goal of the HOB Program is to understand and intervene on the behavior of individuals, social networks, healthcare systems, and communities.  The scientific aims of the Program are to: (1) increase cancer prevention and screening behaviors; (2) improve outcomes and quality of life for people diagnosed with cancer; and (3) address drivers of poor outcomes in populations disproportionately affected by cancer.

The Program Co-Leader is a member of the overall scientific leadership team at Moffitt as well as the Population Science Leadership Team, with shared responsibility for guiding, facilitating, and advancing robust research within the Program as well as building innovative and sustained collaborations with other Programs and institutions.  Program Co-Leaders also prepare the relevant sections of the Cancer Center Support Grant (CCSG) and represent the Program at annual External Advisory Committee review meetings.  Although expertise in Aim 2 is ideal, all qualified candidates will be considered regardless of expertise.

Physical, intellectual, and scientific resources for conducting research include the Cancer Center's integrated repository of clinical and research data on a large cohort of patients (Moffitt Cancer Analytics Platform or MCAP), diverse networks of community partners (Support for Community Organization Research Engagement or SCORE), a state-wide affiliate network of treatment providers, several research centers of excellence, and shared resources that include biostatistics and biomedical informatics, participant-based research methods (PRISM), and collaborative data services. Moreover, Moffitt also has robust infrastructure for behavioral and population-based research, including the Non-Therapeutic Research Office (NTRO) and the Population Engagement and Research Lab facility.  Intra- and inter-disciplinary collaborations are expected and facilitated.

Successful candidates must hold a doctorate degree, have relevant research training and experience, and hold Associate level rank (2+ years) or higher.  We seek academic researchers who can contribute immediately, as evidenced by a history of peer-reviewed funding and publication.  Preference will be given to candidates who have demonstrated leadership and mentoring skills and have engaged in successful collaborative, multidisciplinary research.
