Overview

The Department of Veterinary Preventive Medicine   in   the College of Veterinary Medicine at   The Ohio   State University is seeking a   12-month   Clinical   Assistant or   Clinical   Associate   P rofessor .   The   primary responsibilities will be   to   teach poultry and preventive medicine   within veterinary and gradu a te school curricula   and   to   lead   outreach efforts in support of Ohio’s poultry producers and veterinarians .    Faculty effort is   anticipated   to be   approximately evenly   divided between teaching and outreach ,   with smaller portions of the appointment devoted to scholarly activity and professional or academic service. The   specific   distribution of effort   will   be adjusted to reflect the strengths and interests of the successful   candidate but will remain   predominantly teaching   and outreach.   This position is   part   of a larger hiring effort within the College of Veterinary Medicine   to support   the   creation of   a Center for Emerging Infectious Diseases as a   component   of the   Protect OHIO initiative   (https://vet.osu.edu/about/Protect-OHIO). Teaching   responsibilities   will include poultry health and production topics within the preclinical and clinical DVM curriculum.   A dditional   teaching   will include   topics   such as animal welfare, food safety, infectious diseases, or other components of veterinary preventive medicine , with   specific   topics   tailored to the   strengths of the candidate .   Outreach responsibilities   will center on fostering connections among poultry veterinarians, regulatory agencies, and the academic community, while working directly with producers across Ohio.

Engagement in clinical service is not a requirement of the position; rather, this   component   would be developed only if aligned with the interests,   expertise , and career goals of the selected candidate.   The successful candidate will additionally serve as an important collaborator for   research and   provide service to the College and the veterinary profession.
