Cornell
University College of Veterinary Medicine is a fulfilling place to work with
ample opportunities for a robust and rewarding career for a clinical and research
oriented faculty member. The teaching hospital provides a diverse and challenging
small and large animal caseload, and is well-equipped and supported for clinical
research. Extensive opportunities for independent and collaborative research
exist at the Veterinary College and throughout the University, including Weill
Medical College and technology campuses in New York City. Candidates with a special interest in equine behavior
can find unique opportunities for developing their clinical and research
interests at our satellite equine referral hospital on the backstretch of the
Belmont racetrack. Candidates with a small animal focus can develop
consultation arrangements and collaborative research opportunities with the
college-owned and affiliated small animal specialty practice in Stamford, Connecticut.
Candidates
must have a degree in Veterinary Medicine and/or a PhD in ethology,
neurobiology, psychology, or a related discipline. For non-veterinarians,
preference will be given to those with certification in Applied Animal Behavior
(CAAB). For veterinary candidates, preference will be given to those with board
certification in the American College of Veterinary Behavior or the European
College of Veterinary Behavior; however, candidates who have completed or who
will be completing an approved residency within a year will be considered, if
prior research experience is demonstrated.
This individual will be expected to establish
an independent research program that builds on current and future strengths of
the college and university, and leverages collaboration with other institutions
and organizations. Significant internal funding for research is available through
the college’s Feline Health Center and newly-launched Riney Canine Health
Center. Institute faculty will have shared responsibilities in the instruction
of veterinary students, house officers, and graduate students. Individuals with
clinical credentials and expertise will help develop a robust clinical service
optimized for clinical teaching and training within the Cornell University Hospital
for Animals. Distribution of effort in
the Section and Department will be determined in accordance with the candidate’s
expertise and academic goals in behavior, academic priorities, and service
needs.

with academic credentials and experience.
