College of Medicine

The Department of Biomedical Sciences at the Florida State University College of Medicine is in an expansion phase. We are actively seeking exceptional faculty members at all career stages to join us and be a part of our bright future.

Florida State University is a Carnegie Research 1 university in Tallahassee, the capital of Florida. It is ranked among the top 25 US public universities by the US News and World Report. The Department has a robust research portfolio encompassing cellular, molecular, and behavioral sciences. The research expenditures of the College of Medicine have doubled in the last 4 years and continue to rise. The University is initiating FSUHealth, a research collaboration between FSU and nearby health care institutions.

The successful candidates will have a PhD and/or MD, a proven track record of excellence in creative approaches to cutting edge interdisciplinary/collaborative research, and a demonstrated record of achievement in teaching and service. Preference will be given to applicants with evidence of successful extramurally funded research programs in infectious diseases, genomics, or neurosciences; however, leading scientists in all fields will be considered. Cluster or team hires are possible. Opportunities for outpatient clinical practice and human subjects research are available. Excellent mentoring and teaching skills are highly valued, as critical contributors to our mission of training the next generation of healthcare professionals and scientists. Our educational mission includes graduate, medical, physician assistant, and undergraduate education.

For more information and to apply, visit https://jobs.fsu.edu and search for Job ID 56935. Candidates should submit a single PDF file containing a cover letter, CV, contact information for three professional references, and a research statement. Review of applications will begin immediately and continue until the positions are filled. Early applications are encouraged.

The Research and Discovery mission of the College of Medicine is facilitated by more than 150,000 sq. ft. of state-of-the-art laboratory space. New state-of-the art research space and facilities are continually being added. Departmental Core infrastructure includes resources for proteomics, genomics, advanced confocal, super-resolution and multiphoton microscopy, flow cytometry, cell culture, and laboratory animal sciences. The Translational Science Core Laboratory (https://med.fsu.edu/translationalLab/home) is equipped with state-of-the-art mass spectrometry and deep sequencing equipment. A 3T MRI system (Siemens MAGNETOM Prisma) dedicated to research is also available. Current research in the department is broadly focused on understanding the molecular bases of human health and disease (https://med.fsu.edu/phd/home). Multiple clinical and translational partnerships are available through the NIH Clinical and Translational Science Award (https://ctsa.research.fsu.edu/) (https://www.tallahassee.com/story/news/education/2021/04/14/tmh-fsu-medicine-discussing-academic-medical-center-partnership/7204299002/).  At FSU, collaborative opportunities abound within the College of Medicine and in the departments of Biological Science, Chemistry & Biochemistry, Biomedical Engineering, Computer Science, Computational Science, Statistics, Psychology, in the Institute for Molecular Biophysics, and at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory.
