Appointment at the Assistant Professor (Clinical) rank is anticipated; however, appointment at a promoted rank may be considered depending upon the qualifications of the successful candidate.

The Carlson College of Veterinary Medicine provides professional and graduate programs for veterinary students leading to DVM, MS and PhD 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 $37 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.
