Moffitt Cancer Center is among the “Best Places to Work in Academia,” according to The Scientist magazine.
This year Moffitt was ranked number 17, up four places from last year. Survey participants from Moffitt ranked peers and infrastructure and environment as top strengths in the workplace.
“We are committed to maintaining a dynamic environment for academicians to collaborate and advance knowledge and their careers. We are honored to be recognized once again as an exceptional place for cancer research and education,” said William S. Dalton, Ph.D., M.D., CEO and center director of Moffitt.
The Scientist created a Web-based survey form that was posted at www.the-scientist.com from Sept. 8 to Nov. 29, 2010. Results were collected and collated automatically. Readers of The Scientist and registrants on The Scientist website who identified themselves as full-time life scientists working in academia or noncommercial research institutions received email invitations. The survey was also publicized on The Scientist website and through news stories. Respondents were asked to assess their working environment according to 37 criteria in eight different areas.
