Working at Moffitt is both a career and a mission: to contribute to the prevention and cure of cancer. Join our committed team and help shape the future we envision.
Summary
The Associate Center Director (ACD) and Division Chief of Physical & Quantitative Sciences at Moffitt Cancer Center (Moffitt) is a newly-reimagined, senior academic leadership role responsible for driving center-wide, transformative research innovation in artificial intelligence (Al), machine learning, mathematical oncology, bioengineering, biostatistics, and bioinformatics in oncology. The ACD is responsible for providing strategic vision, scientific leadership, and administrative oversight for the Division across multiple disciplines within the Departments of Biostatistics & Bioinformatics (Bio2), Bioengineering, Integrated Mathematical Oncology (IMO), and Machine Learning (ML). This role offers a unique opportunity to shape and expand Moffitt's strengths in physical and quantitative sciences through interdisciplinary research and strategic growth. A primary responsibility of this role will be to foster collaborations across research and clinical faculty and senior administration to grow in-house expertise, research infrastructure, and team science partnerships that advance innovative approaches to advance cancer prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. The ACD of Physical & Quantitative Sciences will partner with other ACDs (Basic, Clinical, Population, and Translational Sciences; Community Outreach & Engagement; Shared Resource Management; Research Education & Training; 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 also maintain top-tier active research programs that are principally funded by extramural grants; will publish original reports in high-impact, peer-reviewed journals; contribute local, national/international service to professional societies and committees/study sections/advisory boards; and provide 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, and impact of cancer research at Moffitt Cancer Center. The ACD of Physical & Quantitative Sciences plays a key part in upholding the standards required for NCI designation and advancing the overall mission of Moffitt and improving cancer outcomes through innovative, data-driven research.
