Position Description
Contributes to the university's mission through teaching, research and service, some variation by academic unit.
Department/College: Texas Tech University School of Veterinary Medicine
Position type: Tenured/tenure-track
Rank: Assistant Professor
Start date: January 2025 (Could be sooner)

Major/Essential Functions

Primary responsibility is to contribute to the TTU SVM's instruction in small animal medicine. The successful candidate should have strong interest in teaching. The position will include some service duties such as committee service and student mentoring, and scholarship is expected as appropriate. The distribution of effort toward each activity will be individualized for each faculty member and outlined in the letter of appointment.
- It is expected that tenure-track faculty members will establish extramural support for their scholarship, and this will include support for graduate students and opportunities for involvement of professional students. This expectation is proportional to the percentage of effort assigned to scholarship in the letter of appointment.
Clinical practice may be a part of this appointment depending on the qualifications and preferences of the candidate.
Contribute to activities necessary for accreditation from the American Veterinary Medical Association Council on Education, other regulatory or accreditation approvals, and admit and deliver the curriculum to the students of the professional degree program.
For tenure-track appointments, participation in the School's research enterprise and PhD program.
Curricular development/delivery and related activities. Most curricular development/delivery will focus on courses related to small animal medicine, with opportunities to participate in other courses depending on the interest of the faculty member.
Additional comments:
- The curriculum is focused toward general veterinary practice in rural and regional communities. A central function of subject-matter experts is to provide instruction that prepares graduates to competently and confidently practice veterinary medicine at a distance from referral hospitals.
- Those with experience in rural and regional community practices will provide important feedback that will inform the admission process, instruction, and continuing education.
