Medical Oncologist-HP or TS
Position SummaryThe Department of Small Animal Clinical Sciences, College of Veterinary Medicine, Michigan State University, invites applications for a renewable faculty appointment in Medical Oncology. The position are available at the Assistant, Associate, or Full Professor, in our Health Programs appointment system or Tenure System, depending on the qualifications and interests of the candidate. The successful candidate will join an existing medical oncologist, 3 dedicated medical oncology service nurses, 1 medical oncology service coordinator, and a radiation therapist.
The MSU Oncology Clinic is a state-of-the-art facility that was opened in 2005 as part of the Veterinary Teaching Hospital. The hospital provides comprehensive treatment of veterinary oncology patients and is staffed by board certified specialists in anesthesiology, internal medicine, cardiology, dermatology, ophthalmology, diagnostic imaging and interventional radiology, emergency medicine/critical care, neurology, soft-tissue and orthopedic surgery and rehabilitation/sports medicine. It is fully equipped with a Varian Trilogy linear accelerator, chemotherapy pharmacy, chemotherapy administration suite, individual species' ward facilities, radioisotope therapy suites, video-microscopy suite, ultrasound unit, examination rooms, rounds room, and individual office space. In addition, the Veterinary Teaching Hospital offers a complete array of imaging and interventional modalities including 3-D ultrasonography, digital cinefluoroscopy, endoscopy, 16-slice helical CT scanner, 3 Tesla onsite MRI, and access to PET CT for research purposes. Additional support services include primary care and dentistry services and a veterinary social work program. The oncology clinic is supported by the MSU Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory (VDL) which is one of the largest full service veterinary diagnostic laboratories in the world and contributes to the clinical and research missions of the oncology section through services provided by the clinical and anatomical pathology units, and the veterinary molecular pathology laboratory.
The position is flexible in meeting different work arrangements and lifestyles. The successful candidate's responsibilities will include management of referral cases, supervision and clinical instruction of house officers and students, and a commitment to scholarly contributions in the candidate's area of expertise. Participation in the pre-clinical teaching curriculum as well as contributing to the specialty service leadership are also available. Our Health Programs (HP) and Tenure System positions are dynamic and generally have a 50-75% clinical appointment for the HP track and 30-50% clinical appointment for the tenure track. Both HP and tenure faculty have equal voting rights, and the main difference between the two is a primary and independently driven research focus is expected for tenure stream faculty whereas a more collaborative research focus for HP faculty is acceptable. For both systems, effort distributions across clinical service, teaching and scholarly activities are negotiable with the Department Chairperson and are amenable to change. Merit evaluations and promotions are based on the faculty member's performance within their assigned duties.
