Position Overview
The Department of Veterinary Clinical Sciences at The Ohio State University College of Veterinary Medicine announces an outstanding opportunity for a full-time clinical faculty position in Small Animal Oncologic Surgery at the rank of assistant or associate professor. The appointee would be joining two other surgical oncology faculty within the department. Candidates must have a demonstrated commitment to excellence in patient management, client service, and clinical teaching. Specialty board certification (ACVS) and the title of ACVS Fellow, Surgical Oncology are required. The appointee will join the Integrated Oncology Service within the Department of Veterinary Clinical Sciences which currently consists of eight faculty positions (two surgical oncologists, four medical oncologists, and two radiation oncologists) as well as six medical oncology residents, one radiation oncology resident, one surgical oncology research intern and one surgical oncology fellow candidate. The appointee will also be within the Small Animal Surgery Section consisting of nine additional full-time surgeons.
Clinical-track candidates will have up to 65% of their time assigned to clinical service including patient management, client service, clinical teaching of students and advanced training of interns, residents and fellows.

The Integrated Oncology service is located within the comprehensive Veterinary Medical Center, Hospital for Companion Animals, with state-of-the-art facilities and equipment including diagnostic imaging (3-Tesla MRI, 128-slice CT, and GE Omni 32 PET/CT) and linear accelerator (Varian Edge with HD120 MLC) with stereotactic radiation therapy capability. Our goal is to build upon current success and to augment and advance the clinical, research, and teaching components of the Integrated Oncology Service. The surgical oncology team has access to a large, diverse caseload with patients referred throughout the Midwest and beyond. A hallmark of the program is an established surgical oncology fellowship training program. The appointee will actively participate in the training of surgical oncology fellow candidates, surgery and medical oncology residents, and interns.
