The Morsani College of Medicine invites applications for a tenured or tenure-track faculty position to join a developing program in eukaryotic human pathogen research (zoonotic or non-zoonotic). Candidates deciphering eukaryotic pathogen biology and/or understanding host-pathogen interaction that will ultimately lead to new diagnostics, vaccines, and therapeutics are preferred. Both basic scientists and physician scientists from diverse disciplines, including parasitology, mycology, genetics, immunology, and vector biology are encouraged to apply.
A successful candidate for this position is expected to have an established research program and grant portfolio that is transferrable to USF. Participation in graduate and/or medical student education and mentoring is also expected. The Morsani College of Medicine offers institutional salary support commensurate with experience, competitive start-up packages, dry and wet laboratory space, excellent core facilities, and a collegial atmosphere to create an environment that promotes success.
The Morsani College of Medicine is located on the Tampa campus of USF Health that includes the Colleges of Medicine, Nursing, Pharmacy, and Public Health, as well as the Moffitt Comprehensive Cancer Center and the Byrd Alzheimer’s Institute. USF is ranked 41st in total research expenditures and 25th in federal research expenditures for public universities by the National Science Foundation for 2014 with extramural grants and contract activity in excess of $450 million annually.
