Description
The Department of Comparative Pathobiology in Cummings School of
Veterinary Medicine at Tufts University is accepting applications
for an assistant professor (clinical track) of anatomic pathology.
Clinical track appointments are eligible for appointment with
continuous term (tenure equivalent). The successful applicant will
teach in the DVM program, supervise residents, and provide
diagnostic anatomic pathology support.
The Cummings School Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory (CVDL)
receives approximately 2,300 biopsies and 550 necropsies per year,
consisting of primarily dogs, cats, and exotic and zoologic
species, with a lesser number of horses, alpacas, small ruminants,
and wildlife. Cases originate primarily from our academic hospitals
and clinics on the Grafton campus, which have a total caseload of
approximately 45,000 cases per year. We see a rich diversity of
cases, both common and unique, providing ample teaching resources
and supporting research and scholarly activity. The service is
rebuilding and will have at least four anatomic pathologists and
three anatomic pathology residents when fully staffed.
Teaching opportunities occur across the four years of the DVM
program and include small group settings, classroom lectures,
clinical skills, and fourth year diagnostic rotations. Clinical
professors are expected to engage in sufficient research and
scholarly activity to remain at the forefront of their discipline.
Opportunities for engagement in independent and collaborative
research are available, with a strong emphasis on collaboration in
clinical research and clinical trials operated by our clinic trials
office. The Department of Comparative Pathobiology also houses our
Comparative Pathobiology and Genomics Shared Resources and a Flow
Cytometry Shared Resources to support investigator research.
Diagnostic responsibilities and clinical rotation teaching would be
expected to take 26 - 32 weeks per year, with a pre-clinical
teaching commitment of 5 to 15 weeks, research and scholarly
activity commitment of 5 - 10 weeks, and a university and
professional service commitment of 3 - 10 weeks. Total annual work
commitment is 47 weeks, with the remaining time for vacation and
other time off.
Qualifications
Candidates must hold a DVM or equivalent degree and be eligible for
veterinary licensure in Massachusetts. Board certification by the
American College of Veterinary Pathologists or European College of
Veterinary Pathologists in veterinary anatomic pathology is
required at, or within two years of hire. Experience and expertise
in diagnostic biopsy and necropsy service are necessary. Applicants
should be effective and dedicated educators and mentors for DVM
students and residents in the art of the necropsy, exhibit strong
diagnostic skills for interpreting samples from a variety of
species, and can work closely with clinicians in our hospitals and
clinics. The candidate should be able to manage an active necropsy
and biopsy caseload focused on meeting the needs of patients,
clients, and clinicians. They should have demonstrated evidence of
teaching at a level expected for new junior faculty, possess
effective communication skills, and have demonstrated the ability
to work effectively in a team environment.
Application Instructions
Review of applicants will begin on August 1, 2022 and will continue
until the position is filled. Candidates should submit a curriculum
vitae and a cover letter describing their reasons for applying,
their diagnostic qualifications and experience, teaching experience
and interests, and research and scholarly interests. The cover
letter should also address strengths and experiences in diversity,
equity, and inclusion as it relates to teaching, research, and/or
service. The names, addresses, phone numbers, and e-mail addresses
of three references should be provided. Salary will be commensurate
with qualifications and experience. Up to two positions are
available.
