Position Description
Qualifications include a DVM (or equivalent). Applicants must be licensed or eligible for licensure in the Province of Alberta. A graduate degree and/or American College of Poultry Veterinarian (ACPV) board certification or eligibility for board certification are considered an asset. The individual must possess excellent interpersonal and communication skills and a demonstrated ability to work with others in a collegial team atmosphere.
Appointment to the rank of Assistant Professor Teaching requires evidence or promise of teaching effectiveness or competency in teaching and learning, an awareness of how to apply scholarly approaches to teaching and learning practices, participation in reflective practice, and professional learning activities related to teaching and learning. Engagement in the research and scholarship required to maintain currency in pedagogy is required.
Teaching will be a significant component of the expected distribution of effort and will include didactic, clinical and professional identity laboratories, and 4th year (clinical year) rotation teaching in the DVM program. UCVM employs a distributed veterinary teaching hospital model. Clinical duties including student rotation teaching will occur in partner specialty practices and other practice settings. Participation in collaborative student or intern-led clinical research is desired. The remainder of distribution of effort will be divided for university service engagements (such as course or rotation coordination, committee work and/or scholarly activity).
UCVM's AVMA accredited DVM program provides a comprehensive general veterinary education to approximately 100 students per year. UCVM is a research-intensive faculty with expanding research, graduate education, and advanced clinical trainee programs.
