Position Highlights The University of Arizona College of Veterinary Medicine (UA-CVM), located in Oro Valley, Arizona, invites applications for a faculty position with a primary focus on teaching veterinary surgery, anesthesia, and clinical management skills. We are seeking a veterinarian with clinical experience in small animal surgery to assist with the design and facilitation of active learning classroom sessions and clinical skills labs for pre-clinical veterinary students.

Course involvement will include leading small animal surgery portions of advanced medical and surgical courses, developing and participating in clinical skills training and simulation-based education laboratories, and participating in species-focused elective courses having a surgical component. This position may also allow for flexibility in leading equine/large animal advanced medical, surgical, and clinical skills courses. This career-track appointment is not eligible for tenure. Outstanding UA benefits include health, dental, and vision insurance plans; life insurance and disability programs; paid vacation, sick leave, and holidays; UA/ASU/NAU tuition reduction for the employee and qualified family members; retirement plans; access to UA recreation and cultural activities; and more!
