The College of Veterinary Medicine at North Carolina State University invites applications for an Assistant or Associate Professor of Radiology. This appointment may be tenure track or clinical track.
A DVM or equivalent degree is required. Preference will be given to candidates who are board certified in radiology by the American College of Veterinary Radiology but candidates certified by other Colleges of specialty training in imaging or candidates who are board-eligible for their College will also be considered.
The diagnostic imaging area in the current Veterinary Teaching Hospital is extremely well equipped and provides in-house service in diagnostic radiology, digital fluoroscopy, diagnostic ultrasound, nuclear medicine, multi detector computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging at 1.5T. All diagnostic imaging is completely electronic, with digital radiography systems in 2 small and 1 large animal rooms. A fully integrated web based Radiology Information System (RIS) and PACS allows for easy report generation and image distribution throughout the Teaching Hospital. The RIS and PACS are readily accessible from off site.
There are 3 other full-time radiologists, 1 part-time radiologist, 1 radiology Instructor, 5 radiology residents, and 11 technologists and support staff. The 1-year radiology Instructor position is typically filled by the individual after completion of the 3rd year of the NCSU radiology residency. The Instructor provides independent clinical coverage and is allowed to focus on an area of interest to attain a higher level of expertise.
Current faculty radiologists are congenial and team-oriented and are excited about the prospects of furthering the development of imaging at NCSU in collaboration with the talents and ideas of a new faculty member. The Veterinary Teaching Hospital is a wonderful workplace with enthusiastic students, technologists and other faculty specialists who work together to provide excellent veterinary medical care, and to advance the knowledge base.
The radiology faculty is committed to making this position as flexible as possible to fit the desires of the successful applicant. Clinical service can be tailored to suit the interests of the faculty member. This could range from a majority of time spent in diagnostic ultrasound to clinical coverage divided between modalities.
Excellent opportunities exist for independent or collaborative investigational activities and for innovations in teaching. Strong ties exist between the College and area medical schools. These attributes should be of particular interest to faculty pursuing a tenure track career.
