Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine at Tufts University invites applications for an assistant or associate professor of small and large animal diagnostic imaging (DI). The faculty position is based in the Department of Large Animal Clinical Sciences and serves both the Foster Hospital for Small Animals and the Hospital for Large Animals. The successful applicant will be responsible for teaching and supervising veterinary students and house officers;

providing advanced referral and specialty diagnostic services; and engaging in scholarly activity. In addition to clinical rotation teaching, formal instruction in the DVM program and for house officers is required. The position is eligible for appointment with continuous term (tenure-equivalent) and the appointment may be in the professor (unmodified) or clinical professor track, depending on the interests and qualifications of the successful candidate.

The successful candidate will join a diagnostic imaging team composed of three full-time and three part-time board-certified radiologists (including one with an equine focus), seven residents, and twelve technicians. With a robust group of imaging faculty, there are ample opportunities to pursue and develop specialized diagnostic imaging interests across both small and large animal species. Clinical responsibilities include providing diagnostic imaging services, teaching clinical-year students, and supervising interns and residents across all aspects of diagnostic imaging.

The Diagnostic Imaging Service features a dedicated MRI suite equipped with a 3T Philips unit with advanced neurology and orthopedic software, as well as a new 160-slice Canon Aquilion Exceed LB modified with the Qalibra system to accommodate both equine and small animal patients. The section maintains a fully equipped radiology and fluoroscopy suite and operates two C-arms that support a robust interventional radiology caseload.

Additional facilities include two digital radiology small animal radiology suites, one DR large animal radiology room, and a nuclear medicine suite.

The ultrasound suite houses two state-of-the-art Philips units with multiple high-frequency transducers. The Diagnostic Imaging Section collaborates closely with the Large Animal Ultrasound and Sports Medicine Service, including shared clinical rounds and active research partnerships. Image data are managed through Philips Vue Client software. The section is widely recognized for its strong residency program, accredited by both the American College of Veterinary Radiology and the European College of Veterinary Diagnostic Imaging.

Expectations for scholarly activity depend on whether the appointment is in the professor or clinical professor track. Candidates appointed to the professor track are expected to develop an independent or collaborative research program in a relevant area. Outstanding opportunities exist to establish clinical and translational research collaborations with investigators across Tufts University's three campuses, throughout the New England medical community, and nationally or internationally.

Clinical research is strengthened by resources such as the Clinical Research Shared Resource (provides clinical trials support), the Comparative Pathology and Genomics Shared Resource, the Animal Resources Division, and university-wide support structures including the Clinical and Translational Science Institute.
