Working at Moffitt is both a career and a mission: to contribute to the prevention and cure of cancer.

As the only National Cancer Institute-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center based in Florida, Moffitt employs some of the best and brightest minds from around the world. Join a dedicated team of nearly 11,000 who are shaping the future we envision. Moffitt has been recognized as a Best and Brightest Company to Work For in the Nation and is continually named one of the Tampa Bay Times’ Top Workplaces.

Summary The faculty member will develop and maintain an active research program. The faculty member will support his/her research primarily through extramural grants and publish original research reports in peer-reviewed scientific journals. The faculty member will recruit and appropriately mentor research personnel within his/her research program. The faculty member will actively and collegially participate in the CCSG programs and the Moffitt Research Institute activities.

The Independent Scientist Pathway is intended for tenure-track individuals who dedicate most of their effort to independent research. A portion of their effort is dedicated to educating future investigators, by teaching graduate students and medical students, and supervising postdoctoral fellows. These individuals will have their primary appointment in a Basic Science or Population Science department. They may have a secondary appointment in a Clinical Science department.
