** Summary
* * The Associate Center Director (ACD) and Division Chief of Discovery Science at Moffitt Cancer Center  (Moffitt) is a senior academic leadership role responsible for driving center-wide, transformative research  innovation. The ACD is responsible for providing strategic vision, scientific leadership, and administrative  oversight for the Division across multiple disciplines within the Departments of Drug Discovery;  Immunology;
Metabolism & Physiology;
Molecular Oncology;
Tumor Microenvironment & Metastasis. A  primary responsibility of this role is fostering collaboration across research and clinical faculty and senior  administration and for driving team science partnerships that advance innovative paradigm- and practice changing science for clinical translation and back-translation.  The ACD of Discovery Science partners with other ACDs (Clinical, Physical & Quantitative, Population, and Translational Sciences;
Community Outreach & Engagement; Shared Resource Management; Research Education & Training; Research Career Development; Administration) in advising the Cancer  Center Director on setting research priorities and scientific vision as a member of the Research Executive Committee (REX). The ACD will maintain top-tier active research programs that are principally funded by  extramural grants; publishes original reports in high-impact, peer-reviewed journals; contributes local, national and international service to professional societies and committees/study sections/advisory  boards;

and provides teaching and mentoring of faculty, staff, fellows, and graduate students.  This is an essential leadership position to retain Moffitt’s NCI Designation as a Comprehensive Cancer  Center. This role is critical to ensuring the scientific rigor, reproducibility, translation, and impact of cancer research while advancing the overall mission of Moffitt and improving cancer outcomes through  innovative research.  The ACD of Discovery Science provides high-level strategic leadership and administrative direction for academic research.

Specific activities include leadership and coordination of the five academic  departments in the Division, including the appointments of Chairs and Vice Chairs; oversight of the Division Appointment, Promotion &Tenure (APT) Committee; establishment of search committees for  faculty recruitment; and annual review of space for faculty needs. This position provides shared oversight of Research Programs involving the Division of Discovery Science and partners with the ACDs of Shared  Resource Management and Research Administration on services that are aligned with this Division.

The ACD collaborates with Senior Leadership in research strategic planning and evaluation.  It is anticipated that the administrative duties of this leadership role will require 25% effort, whereas research, teaching and service will comprise 75% effort. These allocations are not fixed, however, and will be reviewed and refined each year in collaboration with the Cancer Center Director.
