The Department of Veterinary Clinical Sciences at The Ohio State University College of Veterinary Medicine announces an outstanding opportunity for 1-2 faculty position(s) (clinical-track or tenure-track) in diagnostic imaging. Faculty will join an energetic, internationally recognized, diagnostic imaging program comprised of 3 existing faculty radiologists (for a total of 4-5), 4 residents and 6 technologists. Candidates must have a DVM or equivalent degree. Specialty board certification (ACVR or ECVDI) is preferred, but board-eligible candidates will also be considered. An advanced degree or equivalent research experience is desirable for tenure-track candidates.

The diagnostic imaging service is located within the comprehensive Veterinary Medical Center that includes state-of-the-art facilities and equipment, Eklin DR systems; 2 ultrasound units; an 8 slice, multidetector CT (used for both large and small animals); a nuclear medicine suite with two gamma cameras (large and small FOV); a linear accelerator and routine access to a 3T magnet, that is operated by the OSU Division of Imaging Research and is in close proximity. Access to a 7T magnet, PET/CT and SPECT/CT is also available through the OSU Division of Imaging Research. The Department of Veterinary Clinical Sciences supports a faculty of over 50 clinical specialists, educators, and investigators along with extensive training programs for professional students, interns, residents, and graduate students. The College of Veterinary Medicine (http://www.vet.osu.edu) is ranked 5^th among North American colleges of veterinary medicine by US News & World Report. The Ohio State University (http://www.osu.edu) was recently ranked third nationally in the list of best places to work in academia, according to The Scientist magazine. Columbus is the 15^th ranked city by size in the United States (population of 1.5 million within the city and metropolitan area) and supports a vibrant, multifaceted community (http://www.experiencecolumbus.com).

Teaching responsibilities will include lectures, labs, and clinical teaching of diagnostic imaging to professional students, interns, residents, and graduate students. Faculty 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 80% time in clinics, including clinical teaching of students and advanced training of interns and residents. Sponsored research is not required for clinical track faculty, but clinical research, publications or other scholarly activities to advance clinical veterinary medicine are expected and encouraged. Tenure-track candidates will be 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 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 as well as other units on the university campus including the comprehensive OSU Health Sciences Center, which is within walking distance of the College. The Department of Radiology, Imaging Research (http://radiology.osu.edu/11217.cfm) and the Wright Center of Innovation in Biomedical Imaging (http://radiology.osu.edu/11205.cfm) are a just a few of the resources available to clinicians and research scientists interested in diagnostic imaging.

Collegiality, civility, mutual support, and respect for others are strongly held values in the College of Veterinary Medicine. We support diverse beliefs and the free exchange of ideas and expect that faculty, staff, and students promote these values and apply them in a professional manner in all academic endeavors.

Salary will be competitive and commensurate with the candidate's qualifications and experience. The positions are available immediately, and applications will be reviewed upon receipt and continue until the positions are filled.

To apply, interested candidates are invited to submit a letter of intent stating professional goals and interests, a curriculum vita, and the names and contact information of four references to Dr. Rustin M. Moore, Chairperson, Dept. of Veterinary Clinical Sciences, College of Veterinary Medicine, The Ohio State University, 601 Tharp St., Columbus, OH 43210 or via e-mail (Rustin [dot] Moore [at] cvm [dot] osu [dot] edu).
