All-star scientists sought as part of university plan.
The University of Florida in Gainesville is recruiting 100 researchers in 16 fields including neurology, global health, plant genomics, metabolomics and drug discovery. The move is part of a strategy to become a leading research university, says spokesman Chris Moran. The institution has received US$15 million in state funds, which it will match with privately raised money to create 107 endowed seats that could be occupied by new recruits or existing faculty members. The money will also support the construction of research facilities and other initiatives.
