Generalist Clinical Research Focus; DABVP

Generalist with Clinical Research Focus (DABVP-Preferred)

Location:

Austin, TX

Austin Veterinary Emergency & Specialty Center (AVES) is seeking a passionate Generalist with clinical research experience or a strong passion to build competency in clinical research to join our newly established Clinical Study Center in Austin, TX. We prefer candidates who are board-certified (DABVP), currently pursuing certification, or interested in pursuing it in the future; we also welcome applications from Generalists with strong research backgrounds or interests who do not hold a DABVP.

This unique role is ideal for a well-rounded clinician who enjoys variety in their caseload, is eager to contribute to advancing veterinary medicine, and values evidence-based practice.

As part of a small, collaborative team, you will:

• Partner with a board-certified Medical Oncologist and a dedicated support staff to conduct sponsored clinical research trials, including Good Clinical Practice (GCP) studies, proof‑of‑concept investigations, and industry‑sponsored projects.
• Work with leading veterinary pharmaceutical, pet food, medical device, and diagnostic companies to help shape the future of veterinary medicine.
• Provide high‑quality patient care while giving clients access to fully funded treatment options through research studies, reducing or eliminating financial barriers for eligible patients.
• Manage a diverse caseload that spans beyond traditional GP work—including chronic disease, pain management, and other emerging areas of research.
• Benefit from a structured research framework where projects are provided, allowing you to focus on clinical execution, patient care, and data collection (rather than grant writing).
• Have protected time for data entry and research coordination, ensuring compliance with protocols and high‑quality documentation.

This role is ideal for:

• Experienced veterinarians seeking to broaden their impact beyond day‑to‑day practice by engaging in clinical research that directly advances veterinary medicine.
• Early‑career veterinarians with a background or strong interest in research who want to develop new skills and grow within a supportive, structured research environment.
• Clinicians who value variety, enjoy managing diverse cases, and are curious about emerging treatments.
• Veterinarians who are passionate about evidence‑based medicine and want to contribute meaningfully to studies that improve patient outcomes and expand access to care.

• Competitive salary and comprehensive benefits package.
• A collaborative, multi‑specialty hospital environment including 24/7 Emergency & Critical Care, Internal Medicine, Anesthesiology, Surgery, Oncology, Neurology, and Ultrasound. Cardiology is provided daily by CVCA Cardiac Care for Pets. Radiation Oncology and Rehabilitation & Acupuncture services will be added in Fall 2025.
• A supportive team of research coordinators and technicians to assist with trial execution.
• Opportunities to work directly with top‑tier industry partners on groundbreaking projects.
• Mentorship and collaboration with experienced specialists who are passionate about clinical research.

Austin is a diverse, vibrant city with endless cultural, culinary, and outdoor opportunities. From world‑class music and arts to outdoor adventures and family‑friendly neighborhoods, it’s an ideal place to live and work.

If you’re a GP who thrives on innovation, patient care, and evidence‑based practice—and you want to help shape the future of veterinary medicine through research we’d love to hear from you!
