Iowa State University’s College of Veterinary Medicine, in Ames, Iowa, is seeking to hire a key strategic position to support research within the Department of Veterinary Clinical Sciences (VCS). The candidate’s role in VCS will be primarily research, but a minor hospital role in the candidate’s clinical specialty is also desired.

This position will include approximately 70% effort in developing and sustaining a vigorous, extramurally funded research program that focuses on translational, comparative, and/or clinical research. The remaining 30% will be determined, based on mutual agreement, and distributed between professional practice, teaching, and institutional service. The successful candidate will have documented evidence of active and clinically impactful research and scholarship that contributes significantly to clinical research activities of the department, college, and profession; will have national or international prominence as a clinical thought leader based on their research, successful grants, and scholarly accomplishments; and possess the experience and skills necessary for mentoring professional and graduate students and early career faculty.
