You’ll be part of a dynamic SAIM team that plays a vital role in the Veterinary Teaching Hospital (VTH), managing complex cases and delivering cutting-edge care to companion animals.

In this position, you will be asked to provide up to 34 weeks of clinical service on the SAIM service and teach and mentor DVM students, interns, and residents in the clinical and classroom settings. You will also be encouraged to engage in scholarly development and collaborative clinical research. This is a three-year contract appointment with the potential for renewal or transition into a continuing faculty line.

We welcome you to apply to be part of a nationally recognized veterinary program with a state-of-the-art teaching hospital nestled in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. In addition to the exceptional resources and work environment, the VTH is located in Fort Collins, which offers beautiful year-round scenery, sunshine, and numerous outdoor activities, with multiple ski areas and national parks within easy driving distance.
