The Department of Clinical Sciences at Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine at Tufts University is seeking an assistant or associate professor to join our Diagnostic Imaging Section. This is a continuous-term (tenure equivalent) track position, with a significant research and scholarly activity commitment. The successful candidate will join a friendly, multicultural team with 6 board-certified radiologists, 1 equine ultrasonographer, 6 residents, and 10 technicians in the Diagnostic Imaging service, which operates within the Foster Hospital for Small Animals and serves the Hospital for Large Animals. The newly renovated Diagnostic Imaging service features one MRI suite equipped with a 3 T Siemens unit with advanced neurology and orthopedic software and a CT suite equipped with a 16-slice Toshiba Aquilion CT, both catering to large and small animal patients. A new Canon Exceed LB™ providing 160 - 0.5 mm slices and modified with the Qalibra™ system to accommodate equine and small animal patients is being installed. The section has a fully equipped radiology and fluoroscopy suite and two C-Arms that cater to an active interventional radiology case load. The section is also equipped with two DR small animal radiology suites, one DR large animal radiology room and one nuclear medicine suite. Two ultrasound rooms are equipped with two Phillips and one Toshiba unit with several high frequency transducers. The DI section works closely with the large animal ultrasound and sports medicine service, including shared rounds and research collaborations. Large animal ultrasounds are performed by expert equine ultrasonographers using a dedicated Toshiba unit. The Section manages its digital database with Carestream PACS V.12 software.  The Diagnostic Imaging Section is well-recognized for its strong residency program approved by the ACVR and the ECVDI.

Clinical responsibilities include provision of diagnostic imaging service, instruction of clinical-year students, and supervision of interns and residents in all aspects of Diagnostic Imaging. In addition to clinical rotation teaching, participation in pre-clinical classroom and laboratory teaching is required.  Given the number of imaging faculty, the ability to pursue specific diagnostic imaging interests, in large and small animals, exists.

Professor track faculty members are expected to engage in significant research and scholarly activity and are expected to develop an independent or collaborative research program. Excellent opportunities exist to build clinical and translational research collaborations with researchers on all three campuses of Tufts University, within the New England medical community, and beyond. Clinical research is supported by the clinical research shared resource, which includes a clinical trials office, the comparative pathology and genomics shared resource, the Animal Resources Division, and other resources such as the Clinical and Translational Science Institute. Current relevant research strengths in the Department of Clinical Sciences include cardiovascular health, comparative oncology, musculoskeletal pathophysiology, urology, neurosciences, and infectious disease.
