TENURE-TRACK FACULTY SEARCHES in the School of Natural Sciences and Mathematics (SNSM) College of Arts and Sciences, University of South Florida, Tampa, FL 33620
SNSM at USF invites applications for six tenure-track faculty positions in the application of theory/computational science and/or mathematical/statistical modeling to biomedical sciences, global change sciences or materials science. These positions are directed at the enhancement of interdisciplinary research and teaching in ongoing School research clusters. Specifically, the positions will simultaneously strengthen the Computational Theory and Practices research cluster in SNSM, and provide interdisciplinary expansion of three additional research clusters in the areas of Biomedical Sciences, Global Change Sciences and Materials Science. Each of these faculty positions will have a tenure home in one or more of six constituent departments in SNSM including Cell Biology, Microbiology & Molecular Biology; Chemistry; Geology; Integrative Biology; Mathematics; and Physics. These positions are at the Assistant Professor level, but an Associate Professor appointment may be considered commensurate with qualifications and experience, and based on the availability of funding. Applicants will be expected to develop a vigorous, externally funded research program in one or more of the research cluster areas. It is anticipated that these interdisciplinary hires will leverage shared infrastructure and interactions in SNSM research clusters with existing computational and experimental research efforts, illustrative examples of which include but are not limited to:
Biomedical Sciences: Biomechanics, biotechnology, drug discovery and delivery, functional genomics, imaging science (including biomedical imaging), mathematical physics, metabolomics, numerical analysis, proteomics, statistical modeling of large data sets, structural and computational biology, systems biology;
Global Change Sciences: Biogeochemistry, coastal science, conservation biology, disease biology, environmental detection and monitoring, evolutionary biology, freshwater biology and pollution, global change biology, hydrogeology, invasive species, laser science, marine biology, numerical analysis, natural hazards, statistical modeling of large data sets;
Materials Science: Biomaterials, energy-related materials, magnetic materials, mathematical physics, metal-organic materials, nanomaterials, numerical analysis, photonic materials, polymers/soft condensed matter, structural crystallography, theory and simulation of materials.
Further information regarding these efforts is available on the SNSM departmental websites at http://biology.usf.edu/cmmb; http://biology.usf.edu/ib; http://chemistry.usf.edu ; http://geology.usf.edu; http://math.usf.edu; and http://physics.usf.edu.
SNSM at USF invites applications for four tenure-track faculty positions in discipline-specific education research to expand and synergistically strengthen ongoing efforts in the School’s Science Education research cluster. Current research areas include assessment of student learning and attitudes, evaluation of large-scale curricular change, psychometrics, investigation of problem-solving and metacognition, quantitative literacy and research-based curriculum design and implementation. Each of these faculty positions will have a tenure home in one of six constituent departments in SNSM including Cell Biology, Microbiology & Molecular Biology; Chemistry; Geology; Integrative Biology; Mathematics and Physics. Joint appointments with two departments will be considered for applicants with interdisciplinary expertise. These positions are at the Assistant Professor level, but an Associate Professor appointment may be considered commensurate with qualifications and experience, and based on the availability of funding. Applicants will be expected to develop a vigorous, externally funded research program in the area of science education research.
