Essential Job Duties
NC State has had a well-established Theriogenology service with substantial contributions to the teaching, research, and clinical missions within the College. Recent changes in staffing create space for enthusiastic candidates to rebuild and re-envision what a productive service looks like. The CVM is seeking a qualified candidate for a tenure track theriogenology faculty position hiring at the rank of either assistant or associate professor.
The successful candidate will be expected to provide 24-26 weeks of clinical service annually, contribute to the Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) curriculum through both didactic courses and clinical rotations, and establish an independent, yet collaborative, research program. Additionally, the incumbent will be involved in the training of house officers, including residents and interns.
In the long term, the Theriogenology service aims to operate with at least two faculty members, providing clinical services at both the NC State Veterinary Hospital (serving equine and canine patients) and our satellite facility, the Theriogenology clinic at Reedy Creek Farm, both located in Raleigh, NC. Currently, the service is evenly split between equine and canine cases (50% each), a balance we wish to maintain. However, candidates with a preference for focusing solely on either equine or canine theriogenology are encouraged to apply and will be supported in their efforts to thrive in this environment.
