APT Clinical Assistant​/Associate Professor Surgical Educator

The College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences (VMBS) at Texas A&M University (TAMU) is seeking applicants for a Surgical Educator, Clinical Assistant or Associate Professor (Non-Tenure Track). The successful candidate will have a primarily instructional role in developing and delivering surgical skills content through course coordination in the 2VM Principles of Surgery and 3VM Surgery courses and will participate in instruction of the integrated and highly experiential DVM curriculum.

The individual will participate in multiple courses, including the Professional & Clinical Skills course, which is contiguous through the first six semesters of the curriculum. In this course students gain clinical skills in the simulation laboratory; grow professional skills through communication, ethical decision-making, personal and professional finance; and enhance critical thinking skills through problem-based instruction. Excellence and creativity in education is expected.

The ideal candidate will have a background in surgical skills education and a desire to integrate and advance techniques in surgical skills education. Board certification or board eligibility is desirable but not required. Candidates will spend 70% of their overall effort in instruction in the preclinical curriculum, with the remainder of the time (30%) divided between either clinical service or academic service and/or scholarly activities, dependent on the candidate’s professional goals.

If a candidate desires to spend time in clinical services, the assigned service will depend on the candidate’s training and experience and could fit within Large Animal Surgery, Small Animal Surgery, or Primary Care Surgery. The start date is flexible to fit with the candidate's eligibility.

• Applicants must have a DVM (or equivalent) degree.
• Possession of, or eligibility for, a DEA certificate.
• Applicants are required to be licensed or eligible for regular or special license to practice veterinary medicine in Texas.

• Board certification or eligibility to take the board examination with the American College of Veterinary Surgeons is preferred.
