Faculty Position in Small Animal Internal Medicine

The Department of Clinical Sciences in the College of Veterinary Medicine at Cornell University invites applications for a Tenure Track faculty position in the Section of Small Animal Internal Medicine. Candidates must have a DVM or equivalent degree and board certification in Veterinary Internal Medicine (ACVIM or ECVIM). This is an open-rank search where appointment can be made at the Assistant, Associate or Full Professor level.

The successful candidate is expected to provide excellent clinical care and client communication, and partner with four board-certified faculty to provide Internal Medicine services at Cornell University’s Companion Animal Hospital (CUHA), a comprehensive teaching and referral center with state-of-the-art facilities and equipment. Responsibilities include shared oversight, training and mentorship of residents, rotating interns, and veterinary students while on clinical service, didactic and laboratory instruction as part of the curriculum, and continuing education to the veterinary community.

It is expected that the successful candidate will engage in research and discovery that advances the care and well-being of companion animals. Cornell University is a premier research institution with extensive resources directed towards independent and collaborative research. Within the College, research in companion animals is supported through a competitive grants program from the Cornell Riney Canine Health Center, Cornell Feline Health Center, in addition to startup funding. Collaborations within the College and University, including Weill Cornell Medical College and technology campuses in New York City are encouraged, and supported through various mechanisms. It is anticipated that the successful candidate will also secure external funding for their research.

Clinical duties require flexible working hours that may include daytime, evening, and weekend responsibilities. After-hours and emergency back-up support for Internal Medicine residents is shared among Internal Medicine faculty; however, the Companion Animal Hospital is supported by 24/7 Emergency Receiving and Critical Care Services. The candidate should exhibit outstanding interpersonal skills and a cooperative work ethic that will interface well with all sections of the hospital.

Cornell University embraces diversity and seeks candidates who will create a climate that attracts students of all races, nationalities, and genders. We strongly encourage women and underrepresented minorities to apply. The University seeks to meet the needs of dual-career couples, has a Dual Career program, and is a member of the Upstate New York Higher Education Recruitment Consortium to assist with dual-career searches.

Cornell is in Ithaca on the shores of Cayuga Lake in the beautiful Finger Lakes region of New York. Ithaca is a vibrant city with art museums, theaters, and a diverse selection of restaurants. It is surrounded by sustainable agriculture, wineries, orchards, and micro-breweries, and hosts a weekly Farmer’s Market. Ithaca is a nature-lovers paradise, home to the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology, hundreds of miles of trails, quiet roads, and numerous creeks, lakes and State Parks, that provide ample opportunity for outdoor activities. Easy campus-to-campus bus transportation allows one to explore or develop collaborations in NYC while enjoying the “Ithaca is Gorges” lifestyle.
