Faculty Positions

The University of South Florida introduced an online application process, Careers@USF, effective 8/3/2009.  If you have recently applied for a position with USF, no further action is needed unless you are contacted directly to complete an online application for that position.

USF opened its doors in 1956.  Since then, through our broad array of programs and the contributions of our faculty we have begun to define the role that a new generation of metropolitan research universities will play in the lives of their students, communities, states, nation, and world.  There has never been a more exciting time to join USF and to play a vital role in shaping our future.  In just fifty years, we have become the 9^th largest and one of the two fastest growing research universities in the United States, with an annual economic impact on the Tampa Bay region of $3.2 billion.

Faculty positions are defined as positions assigned the principal responsibility of teaching, research, or public service activities or for administrative responsibility for functions directly related to the academic mission. Faculty employees are appointed by periods, usually twelve or nine months. Additional terms and conditions of employment may be specified.

USF faculty members enjoy a wide range of benefits:

• Excellent health insurance programs and supplemental insurances

• Employer-funded retirement programs

• Generous leave programs, including paid parental leave

• Childcare options
