The University of Central Florida launched a Faculty Cluster Initiative in 2015 to foster the development of strong, inclusive, and diverse interdisciplinary faculty teams that will leverage the university's existing strengths to tackle specific challenges and opportunities. For nearly as long as universities have been around, they have been subdivided by academic discipline into colleges and departments. Although this structure serves many purposes, many pressing scientific and societal issues do not conform to those divisions.
The initiative has hired over 40 tenured and tenure-track faculty to date, but we are looking for an additional 9 faculty members to join us in fall 2020 to tackle the challenges of growing importance around the world and to advance UCF’s unique areas of excellence and global impact.
Designed to produce transformative breakthroughs along the boundaries between disciplines -- or even to redefine those boundaries -- the initiative has so far produced nine clusters in areas including cybersecurity and privacy, disability, aging, and technology, renewable energy and chemical transformations, genomics and bioinformatics, learning sciences, prosthetic interfaces, renewable, intelligent, and sustainable energy systems, sustainable coastal systems, and violence against women.
We invite you to learn more about the Faculty Cluster Initiative here: https://www.ucf.edu/faculty/faculty-research-clusters/ .
View the available cluster positions via our Jobs with UCF page at https://tinyurl.com/FCI4FALL2020 or all positions at https://www.ucf.edu/jobs . Positions are open until filled.
As an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer, UCF encourages all qualified applicants to apply, including women, veterans, individuals with disabilities, and members of traditionally underrepresented populations.

https://bridgingbarriers.utexas.edu/whole-communities-whole-health/ is a 10-year campus-wide initiative with the goal of understanding the effects of early life adversity on health and development by building an innovative, replicable, field-based research and intervention model that leverages advances in community engagement, bio-behavioral and environmental measurements, and system data informatics. Whole Communities—Whole Health aims to revolutionize how we conduct community-based cohort studies by first working with communities and families to figure out what questions they have, and then by bringing the most advanced technology and research methods into their homes to help get the answers they need. This position aims to exploit the increasing availability of ‘omics approaches in the multi-ethnic biological characterization of genetics, epigenetics, RNA, protein, hormonal, and immune profiles (areas only beginning to generate attention) to understand and predict health and behavior outcomes.
