What are the responsibilities and job description for the Tenured/Tenure-Track: Assistant or Associate Professor in Neurology position at Texas A&M University?
The Department of Small Animal Clinical Sciences, College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences (VMBS), Texas A&M University invites applications for a full-time, 11-month/year, tenured/tenure-track faculty position at the rank of assistant or associate professor in veterinary neurology/neurosurgery with an estimated start date in Fall 2026 or Spring 2027. The neurology service currently has four faculty and serves a critical role in student education, patient care, and scholarship. The service is also staffed with three technicians, a service liaison, and three neurology residents.
The successful candidate will devote approximately 25-35% time to clinical instruction and patient care in the Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital (VMTH) on the Neurology Service. The remaining time will be devoted to integrative classroom and laboratory teaching (15%), research and other scholarly activities (40-50%), and academic citizenship (10%). Clinical responsibilities will include primary management of cases, instruction of veterinary students, mentorship of interns and residents, and participation in after-hours neuromedical and neurosurgical emergency coverage. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to interact with over 60 faculty members in the Department of Small Animal Clinical Sciences and an active group of house officers that includes more than 50 rotating interns and residents in the other medical and surgical disciplines.
The VMTH includes sophisticated diagnostic and patient care equipment including a Siemens 3T MRI, Siemens 40 slice helical CT scanner, Brainsight Neuronavigation system, Zeiss neurosurgical operating microscope, and Cadwell Sierra Wave electrodiagnostic unit. The 7 surgical suites are well-equipped and supported by a team of dedicated surgical technicians, allowing a surgical technician to be present for the duration of each surgical procedure. The CT, 3T MRI, and CT Tomotherapy unit are housed in an onsite imaging center. The teaching hospital has capable personnel including, but not limited to talented ICU technicians, an active multidisciplinary interventional radiology service, three in-house pharmacists with compounding capability, and a clinical trials coordinator. Construction has begun on the new state of the art 135,000 square foot hospital, with plans for opening in August 2027.
Applicants must be committed to a team-centered atmosphere and possess excellent communication skills with animal caregivers, faculty colleagues, veterinary students, house officers, graduate students, technicians, and staff. In addition, faculty members are expected to commit to holding themselves and colleagues accountable to the VMBS code of professional conduct.
The community of Bryan and College Station have a combined approximate population of 300,000 and are an expanding and diverse metropolitan area with a wide variety of cultural and recreational opportunities, excellent schools, and a relatively low cost of living.
Applicants must have a DVM (or equivalent) degree and must be a Diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine (ACVIM-Neurology) or the European College of Veterinary Neurology (ECVN) or must have completed an approved residency and have met the requirements to take the corresponding board exam.
