The successful candidate will have an academic home in the Department of Veterinary Integrative Biosciences within the VMBS and will work collaboratively with faculty members and staff across all departments, service units, and the Texas A&M University System. The successful candidate will be expected to devote up to 70% of faculty time to instruction in the professional veterinary curriculum in both pre-clinical and clinical courses. Approximately 20% of time will be assigned to scholarly activities and mentorship related to veterinary public health and/or veterinary disaster response, with the remaining 10% to service. The successful candidate will participate actively in duties related to the VET mission daily and provide service and leadership to support the VET activities, including deployment to disaster areas.

 

The Texas A&M VET provides medical support to search-and-rescue teams and resident small and large animals in response to natural and manmade disasters at the request of the State of Texas, Texas A&M Task Force or local jurisdictions, while training future Aggie Veterinarians in emergency preparedness and response. The primary teaching responsibility of this position is assigned to the VMID 927 Veterinary Emergency Management 4th year rotation. This two-week clinical rotation prepares veterinary students in their clinical year for response to emergency situations following graduation. In this course, students participate in general emergency response awareness and planning, a weekend emergency response exercise at Disaster City in College Station, disaster plan preparation with county emergency officials, the opportunity to deploy with the Texas A&M VET during the rotation if a disaster response is required, and other experiential learning opportunities. Other teaching opportunities include participation in multiple team-taught courses in the first three years of the DVM curriculum commensurate with the successful candidate’s qualifications and clinical experience. The curriculum is integrated and highly experiential, and educators with interest in small-group teaching and active learning are encouraged to apply.  Finally, commensurate with the successful candidate’s experience and capabilities, there are opportunities to provide didactic content and mentorship to students enrolled in the college’s MS in Veterinary Public Health & Epidemiology (VPHE) Program and the MS VPHE + DVM Combination Program.
