The Department of Biostatistics and Bioinformatics at Moffitt Cancer Center (MCC), a National Cancer Institute-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center, is seeking a faculty member in the tenure-earning rank of Assistant/Associate with expertise in real-world data analysis expertise, including clinical data from the electronic health record and administrative data such as health claims. The faculty member will also be the Co-Director of the Collaborative Data Services Core (CDSC) for Moffitt Cancer Center.

The Department currently has 18 faculty and 30 staff engaged in a wide range of statistical and bioinformatics research and collaborations on clinical, population and biological studies in cancer including novel therapeutic and drug discoveries, prognostic and predictive biomarker developments, chemoprevention, high throughput genomics, proteomics & metabolomics, next-generation sequencing data-based investigations, epidemiological studies, behavior studies, comparative effectiveness research, clinical trial designs, and personalized medicine studies. Many of these projects draw upon Moffitt’s Total Cancer Care initiative, which provides access to a comprehensive set of clinical and molecular data on a large number of cancer patients.

The Collaborative Data Services Core (CDSC) is designed to facilitate research use of patient data, leveraging Moffitt Cancer Analytics Platform (MCAP), a cloud-based ecosystem of services and technologies that provides access to high-quality data and novel insights derived from those data for use in clinical and operational decision making, cancer research, and care delivery. MCAP contains data on more than 680,000 cancer patients. CDSC is a shared resource that helps drive innovation across all MCC research programs by serving as a gateway to MCC's robust data assets, spanning clinical, administrative, patient-reported, biospecimen, and molecular domains. 

Candidate Characteristics:
• We seek candidates who can contribute to the many current observational studies at Moffitt, as evidenced by a history of peer-reviewed publications and involvement in grant supported research projects. 
• Preference will be given to applicants with an outstanding record doing team science or collaborative biostatistics with an emphasis in studies involving real-world data (e.g., SEER-Medicare, Informa, Flatiron, electronic health record data). 
• The candidate is expected to identify and resolve methodological issues that arise in collaborative research, as a major expectation is to identify areas of methodological research in which to engage that will benefit the candidate’s collaborative research. 

Responsibilities: 
• Team science collaboration to tackle a variety of cancer research projects, with particular focus on population-based studies. 
• Communicate clearly and openly.
• Build relationships with faculty and staff to promote a collaborative environment.

Credentials and Qualifications: Successful candidates must have a Ph.D. in statistics, biostatistics or related field and relevant research training and experience.

Academic rank beyond Assistant Member will be commensurate with experience and qualifications. Appointment at the Associate Member rank requires a minimum of five years of experience at the Assistant Member level. Moffitt is affiliated with the University of South Florida and a University appointment is available in the rank of Assistant/Associate Professor as applicable. Salary is competitive with similar institutions.
