The effort of the new faculty member will be distributed among clinical teaching and clinical service in the Cornell University Hospital for Animals (CUHA), research, and didactic and laboratory instruction of veterinary students and residents. The specifics of the effort distribution will be determined in accordance with Section needs, the academic priorities of the College, and the candidate’s areas of interest and expertise.

The successful candidate will be expected to contribute meaningfully to the body of knowledge that underpins the practice of veterinary medicine. Experience in clinical research and/or preclinical research is desirable. Cornell fosters an environment that actively supports such research; it appoints mentors when necessary and provides infrastructure that helps obtain both internal and external funding for research. There are extensive opportunities for collaborative research within the College and the University, including the Weill Cornell Graduate School of Medical Sciences and the Cornell Tech campuses in New York city.

The new faculty member will provide clinical service and clinical teaching in the CUHA teaching hospital. The hospital serves companion animals, horses, farm animals, and exotic companion animals; it is well-equipped with extensive therapeutic and diagnostic equipment including multiple modern anesthesia workstations.

The successful candidate will have strong interpersonal skills and the ability to work cooperatively with other sections in the Hospital.

Apart from teaching through clinical service, the new faculty member will participate in the other teaching of the Section including lecture and laboratory-based teaching of DVM students and will participate in the biannual OSCE exams. In line with their areas of expertise, they will also have the opportunity to participate in preclinical teaching in the veterinary curriculum; this might employ teaching modalities such as case-based learning. Resident teaching is recognized as a part of the college’s mission, and Section of Anesthesia and Pain Medicine at Weill Cornell Graduate School of Medical Sciences partners with the Section in an established resident exchange program.
