Moffitt Cancer Center and Research Institute is proud to be Florida’s only National Cancer Institute-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center located in Tampa. We are seeking an outstanding investigator in the Cancer Metabolism field who has exceptional vision and who will serve as a dedicated mentor and leader as Chair of the Department of Metabolism and Physiology. The expertise of the Applicant should be evident in top-tier publications, an established stature in the cancer biology field, extramural funding and a creative profile of innovative research programs that ideally would complement ongoing high-profile research currently conducted by department members to understand cancers as dynamic, evolving systems with complex tumor-host interactions, and to use this integrated understanding to identify novel therapeutic vulnerabilities.

The Department of Metabolism and Physiology focuses on the characterization of cancer-related processes in their native state using non-invasive techniques, including intravital microscopy, clinical grade imaging (PET/CT/MRI), in vivo stable isotope tracing, metabolic phenotyping, and ex vivo live microscopy and metabolomics. Research in the department investigates complex networks (metabolic, signaling) within living cells, complex cell-cell interactions within organoids or tumors, and complex interactions between tumor and stroma in experimental animals and human tumor tissue samples.
