The Florida International University (FIU) Center for Translational Science (CTS) is seeking exceptional basic and translational science investigators to build a multi-investigator Stroke Translational Research Team based in Port St. Lucie, Florida. As such, FIU invites applications for full-time, tenure-track or tenured faculty positions at the rank of Assistant, Associate, or Full Professor. Candidates for this position are expected to hold a PhD and/or an MD, with postdoctoral training in a related field, preferably one related to aging, stroke and chronic inflammation. A strong record of impactful scientific discovery, a trajectory of extramural funding (R01-level or equivalent), and a research program that complements existing strengths within the stroke and vascular research teams are expected.

Successful candidates will join a highly collaborative and interactive environment designed to accelerate translational breakthroughs through shared core facilities, multi-PI laboratories, and cross-disciplinary engagement. Successful candidates will be expected to build and maintain an innovative and independent research program (external funding, peer-reviewed scholarly work, national/international collaborations), contribute to the scientific mission of CTS through collaboration and mentorship, and participate in graduate education and training activities within Florida International University. Faculty academic appointment can be within any of FIU’s colleges/schools but will most likely be within the FIU Herbert Wertheim College of Medicine.

Florida International University is amid a significant expansion to become a TOP50 public research university.  The goal of this recruitment is to complement and expand on existing strengths in Lung Vascular and Airway Diseases, Drug Discovery and Delivery, Aging, NeuroTrauma, Cell Metabolomics; Bioinformatics, and Biomedical Engineering. CTS’s location is adjacent to the Cleveland Clinic Florida Research and Innovation Center and the Cleveland Clinic Tradition Hospital. Candidates will have opportunity to develop joint and collaborative research in FIU-Cleveland Clinic research programs. The FIU-CTS in Port St. Lucie, Florida, is approximately a 2-hour drive from the FIU Modesto Maidique main campus in Miami, FL. Teleconference and seminar facilities are available to maintain close communication and collaboration among faculty, students, and staff. The cities of Port St. Lucie, Pembroke Pines, and West Palm Beach are attractive and vibrant family-oriented communities with excellent school systems and housing.

Florida International University is a top public university that drives real talent and innovation in Miami and globally. Very high research (R1) activity and high social mobility come together at FIU to uplift and accelerate learner success in a global city by focusing in the areas of environment, health, innovation, and justice. Today, FIU has two campuses and multiple centers. FIU serves a diverse student body of more than 56,000 and 290,000 Panther alumni.
