Position Description
Contributes to the university's mission through teaching, research and service, some variation by academic unit.
Department/College: Texas Tech University School of Veterinary Medicine
Position type: Tenured/tenure-track
Rank: Assistant Professor
Start date: August 2024 (Could be sooner though)

Major/Essential Functions

Contribute to the TTU SVMs instruction, scholarship, and service activities. The distribution of effort toward each activity will be individualized for each faculty member and outlined in the letter of appointment.
- It is expected that tenure-track faculty members will establish extramural support for their scholarship, and this will include support for graduate students and opportunities for involvement of professional students. This expectation is proportional to the percentage of effort assigned to scholarship in the letter of appointment.
Contribute to activities necessary for accreditation from the American Veterinary Medical Association Council on Education, other regulatory or accreditation approvals, and admit and deliver the curriculum to the students of the professional degree program.
For tenure-track appointments, participation in the Schools research enterprise and PhD program.
Curricular development and related activities. Most curricular development will focus on courses related to pharmacology and therapeutics across species, with opportunities to participate in other courses depending on the interest of the faculty member.
- The curricular framework has been developed based on Competency Based Veterinary Education (CBVE; see www.AAVMC.org), and is designed to be vertically and horizontally integrated.
- Curricular development will require considerable teamwork to effectively develop course syllabi, assist with curricular mapping, and develop content relative to this integration and related outcomes.
- Delivery of the curriculum is within the professional program. This might include serving as instructor of record for various courses, contributing lectures to other courses, or participating in laboratories.
Participation in instructional development and delivery of Clinical Case Presentations courses.
Participation on various School committees.
Additional comments:
- The curriculum is focused toward general veterinary practice in rural and regional communities. A central function of subject-matter experts is to provide instruction that prepares graduates to competently and confidently practice veterinary medicine at a distance from referral hospitals.
- Those with experience in rural and regional community practices will provide important feedback that will inform the admission process, instruction, and continuing education.

Required Qualifications
DVM (or equivalent) is required, with experience in veterinary medicine.

Preferred Qualifications

Candidates who have a successful track record of or show promise in future teamwork, curricular development, instruction, scholarship, and service.
Eligibility or board-certification by the American College of Veterinary Clinical Pharmacology or the American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine.
Texas Tech is a Hispanic Serving Institution and has a long history of serving first-generation students. Experience working with diverse student populations and first-generation students is highly desirable.
