The small animal surgeons have access to state-of-the-art diagnostic (digital radiography, 64-slice CT scanner, 1.5T MRI, C-arm, ultrasound, scintigraphy) and recently updated surgical equipment (including a range of minimally invasive equipment, a dedicated Storz tower, and 3 ForceTriads).

Qualifications

Qualifications for the position include a DVM or equivalent degree, and board certification or completion of a residency program registered by the American College of Veterinary Surgeons (ACVS) or European College of Veterinary Surgeons (ECVS). Salary will be commensurate with the candidate’s qualifications and experience, with additional remuneration for after-hours emergency procedures. In addition to a professional career startup, funding for continued commitment to Purdue (‘pay & stay’) has been set aside. A background check is required for employment by the University.

Responsibilities

The candidate will actively participate in the learning, discovery and engagement activities of the PVM and the VCS department.

Faculty also participate in university-wide graduate programs (MS and PhD). Clinical Service: Provide clinical service to patients of the PVH (typical time commitment is dependent on Tenure vs Clinical Track and section need); supervise veterinary students, veterinary nursing students, and house officers; and build strong relationships with referring veterinarians. Caseload is robust and diverse in scope, and would allow candidates to build an area of clinical focus, such as MIS, surgical oncology, urology, etc. Discovery: All faculty are encouraged to collaborate on clinical research projects. Tenure track faculty are expected to develop an independent research program.
