Faculty Position in Financial and
Organizational Management College of Veterinary Medicine Cornell University Ithaca, NY
The College
of Veterinary Medicine invites applications for a faculty position in Financial
and Organizational Management. The successful candidate will join the College
as part of the new Cornell Center for Veterinary Business and Entrepreneurship,
established in 2019 to facilitate interdisciplinary collaboration and
problem-solving to advance the veterinary profession.
RESPONSIBILITIES:
Today’s veterinary medical graduates must be competent in a wide range of
professional skills to operate successfully in increasingly competitive
business landscapes and more complex organizational structures. As the profession continues to
diversify to fill vital roles in society, there is a growing need to teach
business, organizational management, and entrepreneurship competencies to
augment traditional scientific and clinical training. The
successful candidate will lead a new transformative program to implement
financial and organizational management competencies within college curricula. The
goal of this new program is to help students develop an innovative, creative
mindset and to equip graduates with professional competencies that will sustain a lifetime of career
success.
The primary
responsibilities of the position are to design and deliver interactive learning
experiences in existing core courses, as well as develop elective courses for
the new Certificate of Veterinary Business Management. Student learning
outcomes are expected to address topics in practice management (e.g., personnel
management, financial management, business performance analysis, sales and
marketing, and legal-regulatory compliance), as well as veterinary innovation
(e.g., emerging and disruptive technologies and service models). The candidate
will be expected to develop effective collaborations with a variety of
stakeholders including faculty in the Cornell SC Johnson College of Business,
industry, start-up businesses, and alumni in order to achieve the educational
goals of the program.
The successful
candidate will also play a key role in the establishment of the new Cornell
Center for Veterinary Business and Entrepreneurship. As a member of the
Center’s leadership team, the candidate will work to establish a solid
foundation to support future programmatic excellence through strategic
planning, corporate and alumni engagement, and fundraising activities.
OPPORTUNITIES:
Cornell has a long history of successful interdisciplinary collaboration. The
new Cornell Center for Veterinary Business and Entrepreneurship is a partnership
between Cornell College of Veterinary Medicine and Cornell SC Johnson College
of Business. The Center brings together top-ranked programs in veterinary
medicine, applied economics and management, hotel administration, and graduate
business to explore new business opportunities in veterinary medicine and to
solve some of the most pressing challenges facing animal healthcare. The Center
will focus efforts on four strategic areas: education, veterinary economics
research, entrepreneurship, and intrapreneurship.
The College of Veterinary Medicine includes 607
students (425 doctor of veterinary medicine, 140 graduate, and 42 Master of
Public Health), 208 faculty, and 596 staff. Innovative, student-centered
curricula are delivered in a $91.5 million state-of-the art educational
facility opened in 2018. As part of a new forward-thinking DVM curriculum,
financial and organizational management competency training will be integrated
throughout the core and elective curriculum, including a new Certificate of
Veterinary Business Management. Financial and organizational management
competencies will also be implemented into the Biomedical and Biological
Sciences graduate program and the Master of Public Health program. The objective
of this college-wide effort is to equip graduates with transferrable
professional skills that will enable flexibility and support long-term career
growth. In keeping with the College’s long history of
student-centered-learning, the financial and organizational management
competencies will be delivered through a combination of didactic lectures,
scenario-based exercises, and experiential learning opportunities.
The Cornell SC Johnson College of Business encompasses
three programs functionally organized under one college resulting in one of the
largest business programs in the United States. It includes 3,200 students,
over 200 faculty, over 500 staff, and 36,000 alumni. Areas of faculty expertise
