Position Overview
The Department of Veterinary Clinical Sciences at The Ohio State University College of Veterinary Medicine announces an outstanding opportunity for a full-time clinical faculty position in Diagnostic Imaging at the rank of assistant or associate professor. The person will join an energetic, internationally recognized, diagnostic imaging program comprised of 5 faculty radiologists, 7 residents, and 14 technologists/technicians/veterinary assistants. Candidates must have a DVM or equivalent degree. Specialty board certification (ACVR or ECVDI) is preferred, and board-eligible candidates will also be considered. An advanced degree or equivalent research experience is desirable for tenure-track candidates.
The final candidate will be offered an extremely competitive package that is commensurate with the candidate's qualifications and experience with the potential for an attractive signing bonus plan. In addition, the final candidate will have the potential to negotiate a work schedule that meets their personal and professional needs including a reduced hours or days schedule and the opportunity to participate in external consultation activities. Serious candidates are encouraged to reach out early in the process to discuss potential options for compensation, bonuses, and scheduling.
The diagnostic imaging service is located within the comprehensive Veterinary Medical Center and referral center that includes state-of-the-art facilities and equipment, wireless DR systems; 3 ultrasound units; a 128 slice, multidetector CT (used for both large and small animals); a nuclear medicine suite; a PET/CT for small animals; a Longmile standing PET for equine patients, a 3T MRI with a full suite of imaging applications (neurologic, orthopedic, cardiac, vascular) for both large and small animals; and a linear accelerator with MLC and onboard imaging. Plans are in place to acquire a standing CT for equine patients.
Teaching responsibilities will include lectures, labs, and clinical teaching of diagnostic imaging to professional students, interns, residents, and graduate students. A brand new clinical and professional skills teaching laboratory opened in 2018, built for pre-clinical teaching of veterinary students. Faculty members are expected to be involved in professional and community outreach, committee service, and curriculum development. Participation in continuing education events and outreach activities for the public and private practitioners is expected.
Clinical-track candidates will be assigned up to 75% time in clinics, including clinical teaching of students and advanced training of interns and residents. Sponsored research is not required for clinical track faculty, yet clinical research, publications, or other scholarly activities to advance clinical veterinary medicine are expected and encouraged. Tenure-track candidates are given at least 50% off-clinic time to meet expectations for developing an extramurally funded research program in diagnostic imaging that includes collaboration with other scientists, advising of graduate student research, and publication in peer-reviewed journals.
Faculty members are encouraged to develop collaborative endeavors with clinicians and scientists within the College and across the university. Excellent collaborative opportunities are available in the Departments of Veterinary Biosciences and Veterinary Preventive Medicine within the College and other units on the university campus. The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center is a major medical research complex located within walking distance to the College of Veterinary Medicine and research collaborations with the Department of Radiology are well established and encouraged.
