Position Summary
The Department of Small Animal Clinical Sciences at the College of Veterinary Medicine, Michigan State University, invites applications for a Tenure System (TS) or a multi-year renewable Health Programs (HP) Faculty Appointment position in Veterinary Cardiology at the rank of Assistant or Associate Professor, depending on qualifications and experience.
The Cardiology service has a strong program with a busy caseload, residency training program, interventional and surgical cardiovascular therapies, and active research programs. Currently, the service is staffed with two full-time cardiologists, a cardiology resident, a cardiology intern, and a dedicated cardiology nurse. State-of-the-art equipment and facilities currently available include Phillips EPIQ, GE E90 (including transesophageal and intra-cardiac echocardiography capabilities), multiple pacemaker programmers, Lifecard CF Holter recording, and Pathfinder SL computer analyzing software. The Veterinary Medical Center has a recently renovated 2200 sq. ft^2^ catheterization laboratory with GE Innova imaging. Other imaging modalities available within the hospital include nuclear imaging, MRI, and CT scanner.
The Department of Small Animal Clinical Sciences comprises over 40 faculty providing outstanding patient care with a superb team of highly qualified veterinary nurses. Our teaching hospital, the Veterinary Medical Center, is equipped with advanced diagnostic and therapeutic capabilities, including ten operating suites, operating microscope, minimally invasive laparoscopy/thoracoscopy, 64-slice helical CT, digital cinefluoroscopy unit, intra-operative C-arm, 3.0 Tesla MRI (being installed), nuclear medicine, linear accelerator, video endoscopy, renal replacement therapy, and ventilator support.
The successful applicant's role will encompass clinical service, education, and research/scholarly activity. The amount of time dedicated to each of these endeavors is flexible and will be geared toward the applicant's interests, strengths, and qualifications. Tenure system appointments require more time dedicated to independent and collaborative, externally funded research, with less time devoted to clinical service. More information about the Tenure System is available at Tenure System Hiring Information (msu.edu). Health Programs (HP) appointments are unique to Michigan State University and are predicated on enhancing programs in clinical education, patient care services, and clinical research. Health Programs (HP) appointments emphasize clinical service and teaching, although these positions are flexible to allow ample time for research and scholarly activity. Both tenure system and HP appointments are expected to contribute to the preclinical and clinical education of veterinary students, interns, and residents. Health Programs (HP) appointments are unique to Michigan State University Colleges of Human, Osteopathic, Veterinary Medicine, and Nursing and were created to enhance programs in clinical education, patient care services, and clinical research. HP faculty appointed in the Department of Small Animal Clinical Sciences typically have 50-70% of clinical assignments devoted to clinical and preclinical instruction, patient care services, and the general administrative efforts of the Department and College. In addition, HP faculty are expected to be active in research and other scholarly endeavors. A complete description of the Michigan State University HP system is available at Health Programs Faculty Appointment System Handbook (msu.edu).
