ORGANIZATIONAL SUMMARY:
USF is a member of the Association of American Universities (AAU). This membership will provide new funding opportunities for USF research. Additionally, USF is designated as a Preeminent State Research University. USF is one of the nation’s top public research university campuses and one of only 56 public research university campuses classified as both a Doctoral University with “Highest Research Activity” and as a “Community Engaged” institution by the Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education.
USF Health is a comprehensive academic health sciences center comprised of the University of South Florida Morsani College of Medicine, College of Nursing, Taneja College of Pharmacy, College of Public Health, as well as the School of Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Sciences and School of Biomedical Sciences, which provides outstanding opportunities for collaboration and research. For information regarding USF Health, please visit our website at: https://health.usf.edu/
The Morsani College of Medicine includes the School of Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Sciences (SPTRS), Physician Assistant Program, and Medical Education and Graduate Education Programs. The school includes the Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) program, an Orthopaedic Physical Therapy Residency Program, and the USF Professional Athletic Training (AT) Program. The DPT professional program enrolls approximately 50 students per class each year and is ranked in the top 35 per the US News and World Report. The USF Athletic Training Program was the first graduate professional AT program to be housed in a College of Medicine and currently has one of the largest student populations in the country. The school's research mission generates over $5M in funded extramural research. The school also provides clinical services at the USF Physical Therapy Center in collaboration with other healthcare specialties. Numerous area hospitals and healthcare practices (including Tampa General Hospital, James A. Haley VA Hospital, Lakeland Regional Health, Moffitt Cancer Center, Advent Heath, HCA Healthcare, etc.) offer clinical, educational, and research affiliations.
POSITION SUMMARY:The School of Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Sciences seeks exceptional candidates for an Open Rank, Tenure-eligible position in our DPT program. This recruitment is part of an initiative to enhance the growing research portfolio of the school. The successful candidate must have an independent line of research broadly related to biomedical or health sciences as demonstrated by a strong publication record and history of extramural funding. The successful candidate will be expected to develop and/or lead an extramurally funded research program, engage in collaborative research endeavors with existing and future faculty members, and contribute to all mission areas of the school. Priority will be given to candidates whose areas of research compliment current SPTRS strengths in one or more of the following areas: applied physiology, biomechanics and motor control, environmental medicine, health services research, and/or technology and rehabilitation. Competitive salary support and start-up funds will be provided, and rank will be commensurate with experience and accomplishments.
The School of Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Sciences houses the Human Functional Performance Laboratory, a 6,500 square foot space with equipment for instrumented gait analysis, dynamometry, and quantitative balance testing. Additional wet lab space is available in the College of Medicine. Clinical and translational research opportunities are available through the Byrd Alzheimer's Research Institute and the Cardiac Institute, the Morsani Center, and Tampa General Hospital. Faculty within the school maintain active collaborations with engineering, College of Pharmacy, College of Nursing, and the nearby James A Haley VA.
