Job description
The Department of Veterinary Clinical Sciences in the Carlson College of Veterinary Medicine invites applications for a 12-month, Assistant or Associate Professor (Clinical or Tenure Track) position. Full-time (1.0
FTE
) is desired but may be negotiable between 0.7 and 1.0
FTE
for Clinical Track positions only.
The College of Veterinary Medicine provides professional and graduate programs for veterinary students leading to DVM and MS degrees, operates both a Large and a Small Animal Teaching Hospital (VTH), and a State Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory. The College operates within a total budget (from all sources) of approximately $25 million annually, which supports educational programs, veterinary medical and diagnostic public services, and research programs with broad impacts related to animal and human health. The Department of Clinical Sciences oversees clinical, classroom, and laboratory teaching, and scholarly activity of clinical faculty and residents. The VTH provides primary and referral health care for animals throughout the Pacific Northwest. Its small animal clinic was completed in 2005 and expanded in 2019.
The purpose of this position is to provide clinical service, foster critical thinking, generate original medical information and advance professional veterinary students’ and house officers’ knowledge and skills through research, mentorship and instruction in the Department of Clinical Sciences and the Veterinary Teaching Hospital.
The incumbent provides small animal surgery services to veterinary patients admitted during regular hours and after hours. The emphasis is on soft tissue surgery, but an orthopedic surgery service component may be considered based on the goals of the incumbent and the needs of the program. The incumbent also mentors, assists and instructs interns, residents and students in the classroom, teaching laboratory and hospital.
Achievement in scholarship and creative activity that is recognized as contributing to the body of knowledge in the practice discipline is required. Such activity should be validated by peers and show evidence of financial independence from university funding, if such funding is required to meet scholarly goals.

Position Duties
65% – Clinical Teaching and Service (50% for tenure-track; negotiable for clinical-track with < 1.0
FTE
):
Participation in the Small Animal Surgery clinical service, including primary management of select cases, practical instruction of surgery and related topics to senior veterinary students and equivalents, and clinical mentorship of interns, residents, and clinical fellows. This position is for the Soft Tissue program, however, if the incumbent wanted to participate in the Orthopedic Service due to specific goals, this could be facilitated. The applicant must be diligent about timely communication with clients and referring veterinarians and maintain the highest standards of professional conduct. Provide grading feedback to course coordinators.
20% – Mentorship, Classroom and Laboratory Instruction (23% for tenure-track):
Teach, train and supervise veterinary students and house officers during clinical rotations, in instructional lectures, laboratories and seminars. Provide grading feedback to course coordinators. Promote the success of students and postgraduate trainees through advising, writing recommendations and providing extracurricular opportunities for learning.
5% – Institutional Service and Citizenship:
Serve on committees and participate in activities in service of the program and larger issues. Interact with others in a collegial and professional manner. Contribute to maintaining and enhancing a collaborative and inclusive community that strives for equity and equal opportunity. Adhere to university policies, including timely completion of activity reports, dossier updates, leave requests and timesheets.
10% – Scholarly Activity (22% for tenure-track):
CVM veterinarians are expected to expand knowledge in their field. Scholarship and creative activity are understood to be intellectual work whose significance is validated by peers and which is communicated. More specifically, such work is based upon a high level of professional expertise; must be original, must be documented and validated as through the peer review process or critique; and must be communicated in appropriate ways so as to have an impact on or significance beyond the Oregon State University community and for the discipline itself. Scholarly activity can be demonstrated by publication in peer reviewed journals, publications encompassing description and evaluation of novel patient care services, presenting original material to peer groups, program development and innovation, outcomes of innovative programs and/or services, definitive therapy reviews, or case reports, authorship of professional practice guidelines, textbooks, book chapters, monographs, or other educational materials and advising government agencies, industry, or professional groups. For tenure track appointments, the effort dedicated to this area is greater, and the expectations for original research and external funding are higher. For clinical-track professors, clinical reports, topical reviews, participation in collaborative studies, and regional educational efforts are often satisfactory. Clinical assistant professors demonstrating superlative talent for original research may petition the department for conversion to a tenure-track position after three years of service. Such conversions will follow university and college policies.
