Faculty Position in Health Outcomes Research
Location: Tampa, Florida, USA
The H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center and Research Institute is seeking a faculty member (Assistant, Associate, or Senior Member level) whose interests in health outcomes would complement those of existing faculty in our Department of Health Outcomes and Behavior. This Department currently has 14 faculty engaged in research on behavioral aspects of cancer prevention and early detection, comparative effectiveness of treatments/interventions across the cancer continuum, quality of life during and after cancer treatment, quality of cancer care, and cancer-related health disparities. Possible complementary areas of research include but are not limited to: (1) decision making in cancer prevention, treatment and control; (2) variations in patterns of cancer care; and (3) preferences across services, symptoms, risks and information. Resources for conducting research include the center’s integrated repository of clinical and research information on a large cohort of patients, a state-wide affiliate network of treatment providers, and shared resources in biostatistics, biomedical informatics, and survey methods.
Successful candidates must have Ph.D. or M.D. and relevant research training and experience. Academic rank beyond that of Assistant Member will be commensurate with experience and qualifications. Appointment rank at the level of Associate / Senior Member requires a minimum of five years experience at the Assistant / Associate Member level. The position is tenure-earning. We seek academic researchers who can contribute immediately, as evidenced by a history of peer-reviewed funding and publication. The Moffitt Cancer Center is affiliated with both the University of South Florida and the University of Florida. University appointments are available, as applicable. Salary and start-up funds are competitive with similar institutions.
