The University of Florida and the Norman Fixel Institute are seeking rising star faculty researchers. We invite applications for full-time endowed faculty positions at the Assistant, Associate, or Full Professor level, with appointments available on the tenure or non-tenure track. Ideal candidates are late-stage Assistant Professors or Associate Professors who have demonstrated early success in establishing independent research programs, including securing independent grant funding, and are ready to launch the next phase of their academic careers. These positions offer the potential for dedicated research space, and generous start-up packages. Researchers in clinical, translations, or foundation science fields are all encouraged to apply. The final rank, track, and academic home will be based on the candidate’s qualifications and alignment with the mission of the institute, college, and university. The Norman Fixel Institute features a campus dedicated to interdisciplinary care and neuromodulation. The Institute has in place a fully functioning clinic that is an “all under one roof” interdisciplinary clinical-research center. We specialize in Parkinson’s disease, movement disorders, Alzheimer’s disease, ALS, Traumatic Brain Injury, Multiple Sclerosis, and related diseases. The Institute campus boasts thousands of square feet of research space and supports seamless collaboration across disciplines. Faculty will benefit from close collaboration with the McKnight Brain Institute (MBI), the Center for Translational Research in Neurogenerative Diseases (CTSI), Center for Translational Research in Neurodegenerative Disease (CTRND), and UF Health’s standalone Neuromedicine Hospital. UF is consistently ranked among the top 10 institutions nationally in NIH funding for neuroscience.
