This Assistant/Associate Professor position requires in‑depth knowledge and experience in the delivery of instruction in parasitology with an emphasis in large animal (Equine and Production Animal) parasites. The position will fulfill diagnostic responsibilities mainly through the teaching hospital, including consultations for external entities. The successful candidate will provide diagnostic and consulting services consistent with the college’s emphasis on high‑quality care and support of producers in North Carolina.

The candidate will be integral in the development of instruction in parasitology for veterinary students, and a strong interest in teaching is required. Teaching responsibilities focus on training and assessment of preclinical veterinary students, including didactic courses, labs, and elective classes, and some training of veterinary students and farm animal house officers in the clinical setting. The position is expected to have some interaction with livestock producers and the swine, poultry, and equine industry.

The successful candidate is expected to develop an independent research program focused on large animal parasitology and secure extramural funding from federal, state, foundation, and/or industrial sources.

Clinical Service – Consultations, diagnostics, and parasite identifications for internal and external constituents; official parasitology consultant for the Hospital Diagnostic Lab.

Research – Develop and sustain an externally funded research program in domestic animal parasitology, with preference for candidates focused on nematode biology, epidemiology, or anthelmintic resistance.

Didactic Teaching & Mentoring – Formal lectures, curriculum development, small‑group teaching, and mentoring of junior faculty, residents, and students.

Professional/Administrative Service & Extension – Participate in departmental, medical school, or hospital committees (e.g., promotions, curriculum, quality improvement), national society leadership, peer review, and administration.

Other tasks and responsibilities may be assigned based on the evolving needs of the organization.
