research, including biomedical informatics, computer science, information science, data science, biostatistics, industrial and systems engineering, complex systems science, human factors engineering, health services research, anesthesiology or another clinical specialty, or a closely related field. Job Description: The Chief, Safety Science Division will provide intellectual and operational leadership of the newly
established Safety Science Division within the University of Florida (UF) College of Medicine, Department of Anesthesiology. Working in close partnership with the Associate Chief for Education, the Chief will co-develop the Division's strategic plan from inception and lead the administrative build-out of its research program through start-up and into operational maturity. The Division is being created to address
preventable harm in perioperative care through interdisciplinary research excellence, innovative educational programs, clinical translation within UF Health, and national collaboration. The Division's research program is distinguished by its emphasis on complex systems modeling and analysis as the integrating scientific frame for safety science, a deliberate confluence of nonlinear systems dynamics, complexity
science, human factors, and artificial intelligence that moves beyond conventional risk-stratification approaches toward a richer understanding of how preventable harm emerges, propagates, and can be averted in real perioperative systems. Under the Chief's leadership, the Division will pursue four interconnected flagship research themes: (1) Perioperative Human Factors and Complex Systems; (2) AI and Agentic Safety,
including predictive analytics situated within complex systems analysis; (3) Diagnostic and Therapeutic Safety in Acute Care; and (4) Health Systems-Scale Analyses and Dissemination. This position is a 1.0 FTE academic faculty appointment in the Department of Anesthesiology. Given the demands of starting up a new Division, the incumbent's effort is initially allocated as approximately 0.7 FTE to the administrative
